Got 2 side pieces of tinted glass in

Maybe not as green/ dark as expected , but not bad. Will look darker once all pieces in

I've always liked the sundym tint, fitted it to my 72 saloon in the 80's when it was easy to get hold of although not easy to find stuff without reg numbers etched into it. Even bought new door glass from minispares as all the second hand door glass was scratched even back then.

May think about doing door windows , will see how it all looks when done ( easier to find door glass)

for the best result I think you'd need to do all the glass, including the windscreen...

Rear door glass

Old ones out required a grip of steel to pull rubber over lip , then push glass from inside on one corner , while holding glass with other hand on outside to stop it popping out and hitting floor .

Fitting new glass required a tool ..... the handle of a plastic spoon to twist and roll rubber over metal lip ??

I also used old seals I got with glass as new ones didn’t seat properly . New/ old ones fit perfectly and not bad condition ( actually look better made than new ones)

All glass in ...

2 problems

1- there is what seems to be welding splatter on 2 pieces ( could possibly polish / cut flat, but would still have marks

2- it’s not dark enough for my liking

So I’m probably going to tint the clear pieces that are out of car myself ... what could go wrong ? Will investigate further

Looking fantastic!

 

I'm surprised they never used the same type of hinge screw for the doors as on the saloon boot lid.
