How well are these supposed to fit in a Mk1?

I received (a while back) a set of windies from a supplier for a Mk1...the quarterlight windies, I had to shave quite a bit off to fit in. For the door windies, I haven't touched at all, and just inserted. They seem quite loose and you can physically lift the windie 'in situ' 4-5 mm up and down. I'm using my original upper window channels, and sliding window catching lock runner, but replaced the lower sliding window runner.

I'm not too concerned, as it's on a rally car and therefore not exactly known for concours quality/finish...however, is it just me, or is this standard for poly windies?

By the way...quality is great and I can't believe how light these things are.

Thnks,
Ben

It's all Greek to me

Theres 3 different sizes for the rear 1/4 windows - bolt in ones that use no rubber trim or frame, ones that fit in a rubber seal like an 850 and ones that fit in the chrome opening frame so you should have had the choice which ones you wanted - if you trying to put any of the first 2 in the frames you will have to take material off

the mini spares lower channels wont make to much of a difference so you shouldent really have that much movement in them, just measure them against a piece of glass

Try these people - http://www.acwmotorsportplastics.co.uk/ they have all the templates and the windows fitted my car first time with no adjustment. Hope this helps. Cheers Mark

Pad4 is too polite to say but he has more than a bit of knowledge on this subject.

Aye Mark- well ive made one or two sets over the last 15 years or so - but there are always a few odd ball things that appear with minis which need adjusting, we even get surprised to this day with them.

But yea - they are light compared to glass - 50% lighter and cheaper than a diet
