Strabge question i know but do the e30s have different thickness of glass??

Reason i ask is that last year my drivers window was smashed on my touring and so i got a replacement glass but when i jet wash it it lets in water a bit and also hear wind whistling through when i drive... There's no glass in the lining of the door, i've checked already

I think that some M3's had thinner rear and side screens. But don't think there was any difference on the front.

I've checked the wholesalers and there is only one thickness of glass for normal e.30's, although M3's were thinner.

I feel sorry for you !!!!!!!

Haywood, you will need to adjust the glass using the mounts the glass sits in on the Mech....

You're allowed you're misconceptions! Sad I know, but after 33 years fitting the damn things I thought I might help.
