Rear plastic window

[Ian.B]

Can you aquire rear plastic windows to fit into your rear hood.It has a small split.

Cheers

you should be able to get it done under your windscreen cover on insurance. Mine was covered, didn't affect NCB and cost me 50 quid excess.

cAN YOUJUST REPLACE THE PLASTIC WINDOW ITSELF IF IT IS TORN...THE HOOD IS FINE.?

You can, but most professionals who do this will take the hood off the car so they can machine stitch the new window in. Since the hood is glued on, there's some chance that it will be damaged when they take it off.

I used to own a triumph spitfire (along time ago now and i was young!)and the year plastic window used to zip out while the roof was still up if you know whay i mean. I have toyed with the idea of trying to do the same if/when my hood requires replacing.

Its good for lowering the roof aswell as you can unzip the window and lower the roof - since the window is unzipped it stays relatively flat and does not have to flex.

It may mean that the rear window has to be split into three sections - rear screen and two side bits but that would still look OK wouldn't it...?
