Hi everyone,
My rear windows are the hinged opening type that have these catches: http://www.minispare...ic/CZH3536.aspx

 

Annoyingly the bottom hinge on each one has sheared off. They're riveted into the stainless frame. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for the frame to save me getting whole new windows?
Looks like the part reference is CZH3537 but nowhere seems to sell it

 

Car is a C reg Mk 4

Cheers, Peter

No longer available & haven't been for some time.

Only options are 2nd hand frame or fabricate new hinges (& even then you can't easily get the original style semi-hollow nickel plated brass rivets).

Get some thin gauge stainless steel sheet and make some up. Then to fix them maybe try some jb weld or another strong adhesive. They won't move far once assembled again

I've a couple of hinges you could have if you want them. I think theirs early and later ones the later ones being a little bit wider these are the early type. To fix them you need to drill the rivets out and drill the holes with a 4 mm drill and buy these from eBay item 223682198014. They are nickel plated and the heads are slightly larger but don't overhang the frame and look fine. Pm me. They are rust free and need a polish I'll dig them out tomorrow and take a picture if you want to see them.
