half way through fitting opening rear quarters to my S2, got one on and there is a gap at the back of the window!! can anyone tell me is it like this with all of them or have i just got some duff glass? only got the glass about a month ago from ford so ill try and get it changed if i can! someone must know. cheers, matt.

 

I think the glass is quite a bit smaller than the hole and its just a case of sliding the glass back and foward to try and get a evenish gap all round.

 

the glass in the in the window hole is perfect all round, its just the back sorner doesn't touch the seal where as the rest of the window does. i dont think its possible to move the glass, or if it is ill stand corrected...?

 

Its been a long time since i last saw my rear 1/4 lights fitted mate, but the gaps aint great from what i remember.

 

cheers for your help, ill post some pics up when i get my camera back, at the mo i can get my finger out the gap tho so it cant be right!

 

Get some pic's up mate, I can't picture what u mean

 

when i fitted open rear quarters to my series 2 they didn't touch on the bottom rear corner either, it doesn't let water in though

 

Ohh, I get what u mean now, No, mine doesn't either IIRC, only right at the very end tho, all of the rest of the glass pulls up to the rubber seal tight anyway and water doe's not come in, but it does sit under the glass in the bottom corners when u wash the car, so u need to get ur shammy in there

 

pics!?

 

Guess he aint up yet?

 

up mate but been at work managed to play around with it last night some more and got the gap down to barely anything. by the sounds of it thats just how it is so ill just have to lump it... ill take pics now and add them...

 

pics..

you can see the gap in this one, not too bad, just a little concerned about it!


oh, by the way i had the catches here chromed, i know, not to everyones taste but i like em!

 

Fookin bufty

I will take a pic of mine because I seriously don't remember mine having a gap like that Will let u know.

 

Maybe the back qtr is buckled

 

 

i did compare the 2 sides of glass and it seemed the right hand side had more of a concave. the other side is perfect.

 

Hmmm...something don't sound right then if the otherside is not the same I really need to check mine when i get in

 

Mine are like that too, doesnt let water in though!!

 

Just checked mine. Mine pull upto the rubbers all the way round, ur's look like there is a gap between the glass and the rubber?

Guess so mate Also, can't leave mine open and arm the alarm or it will trigger it off after a few mins! I beleive u can still get the front brackets (as these are same as KA ones? but the S1 opening one U can't, but there are plenty of breaking S1's to get them off Glass is still avail £50 a side
