I'm thinking of having my delaminating OS rear quaterlight replaced. Of course its not straightforward to find the part. RG have replacement glass for Mk2 T350, but can't find a part# for Mk1. My question is, will there be any difference in the glass between Mk2 and Mk1 (mine's an '03 car). Anyone tried this?

Whats the difference between the MK1 & MK2 models? Is it just the hatch recess, luggage cover sunvisors etc.

Its perspex , how can it delaminate ? Are you sure it is not just the black paint being pulled away by the mastic .

Yes, thats what I meant. Sorry. The problem is, as I understand, there's a 50/50 chance of cracking the old perspex taking it out. I was surpirsed when RG said there was a mk1/mk2 quarter light. As Lensey implies, I thought the trim differences between early/late cars were very trivial and certainly didn't extend to different window appatures. I just want to be sure before/if I fork out for a replacement.

I remember stopping outstide Dave's (Valhalla) house and having a chat with him as we were chatting he noticed that the angle of the rear quarters just under the perspex were different from my car to his, as far as I can remember mine was made in June 2003 and his just a little time before that. I had visors etc and his didn't, don't know if they switched to a different mould or something?

Yes, I guess you have to assume no two cars are absolutely identical. Mick Oliver - my bodywork God up here - did say they always need some reshaping. Nonetheless, your experience sounds like variation within Mk1 (mine's March '03) rather than between mk1/2. It'd be good to get the view of say a 2005 owner
