Converting Base Model Rear Side Windows To Gti Opening Ones

[RHULPUG 0]

I've got a mint base model miami blue 205, and want to convert the rear side windows by installing ones which open outwards as found on GTi,XS,Stdt models but there isn't much info on the search facility. Can anyone please shed some light?

Think you just need to remove the plugs that cover the holes on the base model shell and bolt the brackets on.

Change the rubbers too?

So behind the 'plastic covers' there should be something to bolt the hinges to?

Is it as simple as sticking the rubbers to the window frame and can these be bought new?

Yep just swap the rubbers.

 

I'm not sure if the holes are behind those plugs but they should be.

I've got a full opening rear window setup you can have if you want?

 

Glass, brakets and seals.

 

Would happily swap for fixed setup.

The holes are there, i used big rivets to hold all the hinges in.

Thanks for the offer but another forum member has already offered.
