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...?

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

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.

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?

fook me makes it easy to break into doesnt it, are the brackets and hinges for these still avalable for ford aswell as the glass?
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
