 Door Glass I was always under the impression the door windows came from a Mini Traveller. But they all seem to have a vertical trailing edge, not the angled one I have.

Re: Door Glass Pretty certain the side glasses on the Coupe are unique to the GTM.
P.S. - Anyone want a set of sliding rear side sundym glass for a Clubman Estate?
Found a glass set when I was clearing out my attic this week.

Re: Door Glass Maybe
The coupe windows where cut from traveller windows, is the a rear radius the same on a mini and coupe? this might be what happened in early days

Re: Door Glass The side windows in my 1967 Cox were perspex from new.
My 1970 Coupe came with greenish tinted perspex (but I can't say if they were original).
My 1984 Coupe had Piper toughened glass side windows.
I suspect that original traveller side glasses were toughened and therefore could not be cut down.

Re: Door Glass As a side note i have a theory for sliding polycarbonate windows that should not scratch not sure it will work but ill give it a go when the builds closer to the end
I was going to cut the poly to size then use good quality tint or security film both sides unknown if the adesive will react or not any one tried this ?
Also does it have to be 3mm thick to be road legal?
sorry for hijack!

Re: Door Glass There is no minimum thickness for side windows, in UK law for the road. The MSA state that "The rear and side windows, if transparent, must be made from a homologated material or from polycarbonate with a minimum thickness of 3 mm."
I have always gone for 3mm myself as this gives the windows about the right stiffness.
