Yes, its just a case of removing them, finding some fixed quarter light glass and the correct rubber and they will fit. The window aperture is the same.

thanks do you know any one selling them ?

Most Mini specialists and all car glass dealers will sell them but currently they seem to be out of stock in most places. You'll have to try somewhere local as most specialists won't post glass anyway.

Just remove your quarter light windows and then on the chrome strip around the edge unscrew the small grub screw and carefully remove the outter chrome surround and there you have it, your set of sealed rear quater windows, thats all i did with mine, the glass is exactly the same size.

No it isn't, it's a different piece cut to a different shape. The fixed piece is about 8mm smaller on each side than the opening type. I don't see any way that you could get an opening piece to fit into the aperture properly with a fixed type seal. The fixed piece sits within the aperture and the opening type fits up against the outside.

Believe me its possible, mine fitted in perfectly no problems with no leaks at all and wasnt a tight fit as if the glass was too big.
