E30 Zone

Some little shit decided it would be fun to throw stones at my front passenger window!

What I need to know is how tricky it is to replace and how do you go about re-fitting (for a laugh I phoned autoglass - £179 with discount!).

The car is a 325 touring with electric windows. Are there any variations in the glass i.e tints etc.

Many thanks

some tw4ts around mate

Meant I had to give the car a good hoover though! needed it!

you could most likely replace the whole door for 50 sniffs check out some breakers much easier than faffing with windows

Thanks mabz but it the only door without a little rust!
Just want get some new glass in there as driving up to london next weekend.

I cant tell you exactly how to do it,but its reasonably easy to do.
(if the haynes manual is sitting next to me)

Windows are easy to replace and doesn't take too long once you get your head around it.

Ok thanks guys - I'll have to phone some scrappies tomorrow.

Hi (I presume your name is TOM?)

Where are you dude? Myself and VeinAST on here regularly raid J.Jones 'salvage yard' on Caen hill in Devizes, they nearly always have a couple of E30's to choose from.

If you need a hand give me a shout

I have one in Newbury you can have, if you have a problem finding one nearer.

bloody hell im working not far from you lot im working on the A303 andover

Any four door facelift glass will do, EXCEPT a few E reg saloons, which still had the early shape glass, but in the later (green) colour.

Thanks guys, window in! Thanks to magpie for quick delivery etc.

Can anyone tell me is there any way of doing minor adjustments? the glass doesn't quite sit home in the top corner. Would one of the bolts I had to un-do to move the mechanism?

Rix, I'm based just outside Chippenham. I've heard of the one in Devises, just need to get down there. We'll have to meet up and go for a cruise sometime - Castle Combe?

The ones that are in slots!

Thanks Brianmoooore

Don't skimp on replacing the waterproof membrane behind the door card, even if you just use polythene sheet and gaffer tape. You don't want to be looking at wet carpets in a few rainy days time.
