There has got to be a way to replace these windows.
MK 1985 2 door, Patrol Short Wheel Base
My entire MK is in beautiful condition except these windows, if I can come up with a window replacement or restoration it is the icing on the cake and then I will bother to do a full respray of the paint, then she should look like new.
Seems the GQ can be easily acheived, though the MK/MQ is rare and I see many people looking for a solution to these windows.
Have tried Rare Spares, 4x4 off road clinic, ebay (for weeks) ALL my local shops, Nissan dealer, Kmart, etc No Luck.
I am unsure of the mechanics as I haven't pulled them out yet for fear of making it worst, it looks like there is a Bailey channel, a frame and a Rubber involved.
I saw someone who put in Perspex, cut it to the shape, drilled small holes and screwed it in, then sealed with rubber edging, though that would scratch long term, Glass would be better though a solid window would be a fine way to go as it may never rust again.
Thanks heaps for any idea's, Garry, Alice Springs.
