not entirely sure if this is the right place to post this looking for some guidance.

I'm in the process of removing all the glass out of my track E30 (except windcreen) and have come across a bit of an issue, my car has rear pop out windows and I cant salvage the trim / window surrounds to fit the perspex window to the existing surrounds. Can I swap from pop out windows to fixed rear windows?

Anybody already done this conversion? I have looked at the track section aswell as the first 20 pages from techincal so if I'm repeating someone elses post sorry!

Will you be the selling the pop out windows?

I think you just need fixed window glass and the seals. Just swap them over.

Quite easy,

Sorry one of the reasons I'm swapping to perspex is because one of the windows has been smashed. I hoped it would be a straight forward as fixed seals. Thanks.
