Wanted.

I want to swap my sliding windows from the sliding two piece to the single one piece unit. So looking for a set up for sale, I believe the vent at the rear may be different as well?

I'm planning to replace my sliding units with better sliding units Dave, one because I like to use them as opening windows and the other because I've heard that the louvres are different on the import fixed window option.However, when searching for these louvres, I don't see any options for different types...

Does anyone have any difinative answer to this, maybe photos of the fixed window louvre to compare?

Have a look on the gullwings thread. They are very slightly different. What I would say, is if you have the sliding style windows, clean the junction of the vent panel with the metal of the frame and stick a length of black electrical tape down the length of the join before fitting the glass for which you will need the fixed window rubbers (number in the gullwings thread), one each side. The rubber covers most of the tape and join so it's not a bad compromise. Longevity? Don't know yet. [emoji4]

Here ya go Clive, my mates 80


And my old import

Thanks Brian, but the louvre panels look the same to me...

I will have another look on the Gullwing thread Rich, but the trouble is, they're so beautiful, I'm trying to get the idea out of my head to order some, I DON'T NEED GULLWINGS, repeat after me, I DON'T NEED GULLWINGS.

Bugger, it's not working mmmmm, but I'll have a look anyway....

Assuming the 'hole' in the metal is the same the louvre on the fixed window looks thinner to me.

I can't see any difference from them photos,
Perhaps need more of a "full on" picture of each?

 

[joinerman]

Ok here ya go

 

[joinerman]

Personally i can't see any difference

Chas's sliding window style louvre.
The fixed window style extend further towards the rubber and are broader at the bottom curve.

I did read somewhere they were different, thanks for clarifying. They only got five seater's and fixed windows here and very few at that, but the climate means I need to find a smashed one, they certainly won't be rusted away, so they are scarce in the breakers yards.

Water ingress at that point is normally down to the seals failing with age. I want to change them for the 'cleaner look', and nice and easy to tint!

I have seen a few variations on the theme but it not for me, I was trying to tidy up the lines and reduce the possibility of leaks. TBH I am hoping loads will buy the gull wings, and then the one piece glass becomes cheaper for me to buy.

Come you guys and girls (with one piece windows), you just know you want the gull wings!!

I also think the fixed glass looks a lot cleaner than the sliders
