Are all tourer rear windows the same?
 

Having got my tourer through it’s MOT having bought it a couple of months ago I am now sorting a few other things. The first is a leak in the tailgate area. I have discovered the rear window is almost completely detached from its metal frame.

So I’m going to look for and fit a replacement - are the rear windows the same for all model years, trim levels, MG and 75 versions, or are there differences?

I have a 2002 model year Connie and there is a ZT-T being broken near me.

as far as i no:smiley:

Thanks. Called the local breaker who had the ZTT - wanted £70 for the window. So gone with plan B and I’ve stripped the glass off the frame completely, cleaned and rebonded using Tiger Seal. It’s all clamped up now and leaving to cure for 24 hours.

I bet the breaker did not pay much more than that for the complete vehicle.

should be able to get one for a lot less then that from another breaker

Yeah certainly could, I could beat that price easy

Yes, I’ve seen them on eBay for a lot less, but most won’t post glass and this one was local, but I did give a little laugh and politely declined it as he wouldn’t move on price.
I need the car usable by Monday for work and all that was holding the glass to the frame was the wiper spindle and about 50mm of adhesive either side of the wiper so didn’t want to chance driving it as I have a 200 mile commute, so as above I’ve now just repaired the original.

I’ve taken a few photos of what I’ve done, but it seems I’m not allowed to attach them.

I am a little confused, Are we talking about the rear glass that opens on the tailgate? or the glass on either side of the load area?

The rear tailgate opening glass.

OK, So where does the "Metal frame" come in. I have a tourer and there is no metal Frame around the glass.
