Title: Rear Quarter Windows
Post by: P6UL K on 30 May 2011, 10:58
Did any of the Mk3 Golfs have opening rear quarter windows at all?

Just realised i'm not sure if any did, but i'm happy to be proved otherwise!

Nope I have never seen any but worth remembering the rear windows are bonded in.

It can be done. I've seen it. IMO waste of time and effort.

I wouldn't have thought the insurance company would be too happy about it.

Mk2 is different you can get kits to do it but thanks to scene points they are bonkers money.

ha ha! Erm.. Face, bothered!

Just a question that occoured to me about the mk3's, as i know mk3 & 4 Escorts had the option and it was an easy swap over.

Hofele make the ones for mk2 golfs and I've also seen pop out rears on a mk3 but who they're made by is a different matter. Either way they'll cost a small fortune.
