Is the glass on opening and non opening rear windows the same? Is it a case of removing the opening metal gubbins and changing the rubbers to convert from opening ones to fixed ones?

P.S. I need a full set of door seals, boot seal and window seals if any of you traders would like to sell me any when I have the answer to the above. I'd prefer to get them from you guys than anon traders on ebay.

The glass is a different size so whilst what you suggest is a good idea, it won't work.

As above, it won't work. We stock a full range of all of these rubbers also

Easiest option is to stick an ad on here suggesting a swap, as people with sealed windows often want to swap for openers ("the grass is always greener" and all that!!)

For rubber trim I would give "Phoenix Supplies" a call, they have a trade stand on the "mini show" circuit over the summer so you may have seen them around. They seem to stock every conceivable type of trim & rubber for the classic mini & they also seem to be a lot more competitive on price than anywhere else I've tried. They're based in Devon so they are hardly local to you, but they do have reasonable P&P rates. (email: [email protected] or Tel: 01884 849294)

thanks for that I'll give them a try

problem with a swap is the opening windows i have are not in good nick, the metalwork is corroded. I think I'll tart them up a bit and use them until I decide what to do...

Are you going to Bingley? maybe some there.

Also you end up with no windows whilst you wait for each others windows to arrive in the post!!
