Title: Opening rears, what's needed?
Post by: Pete H on 31 October 2006, 23:43: Seen a few pictures recently of cars with opening rear windows on MK2's obviously, what's needed to do this?

Cheers :cool:

sorry.. you need the windows the catches, and I think that some of the interior trim is also required, other than that I'm sure its a straight forward job.. pretty rare though in the UK, have a look on German ebay

Post by: ...joe on 01 November 2006, 17:19: happich... i have a set! :smug: can't see what the complainst would be.. probably shrunken seals but thats due to age. i bought mine brand new a few months ago after several months of looking and being let down by various sellers. truthfully they aren't a life altering mod, i just wanted a set after having some years ago. they are nice when cruising on a hot summers day though
