Could be. A guy at an old garage I used to use had a set on his old 3 door Escort Ghia. He said I could have them but I fell out with the garage owner so never got them

Got a nice bronze set now though

Put the glass on the carpet an put a piece of white paper under the glass if it looks brownish then it's bronze tint. If it appears greeny then it's a green tint and if it looks like a piece of white paper then it must be clear.

yes they fit stright on, all you've got to do is trim the plastic rear pillar trim, but Ford nicely put the outline on the inside of it so just use that line

I've done the same as Steve and got some bronze front windows, mine were stratched to bits anyways. You might have to do what we've both done and put an extra washer on the screws on the hinge so they seal 100% when shut

The only extra thing tyou'll need is a rivnut gun to put a threaded insert into the B pillar. The holes are allready there though so it's a piece of piss

I got mine from a chap on here but I've totally forgotten who it was. Went to the Isle of Wight to collect them
