quarter lights

Post by Smosh »

The quarter light bar in my van is rusted and needs replacing. I need to redo the seals in general around the door. CVC seem to do a good seal kit; however, I can't find the metal bars that the seals sit inside. I have had a search on here and the wiki as well as various retailers and the consensus is that the quarter light bar is not available for n/s?
What would you discontinue one side!?!

what are the options? I quite like the idea of opening quarter lights. I believe this is possible but I have no idea what additional parts are required.

If anyone is able to point me in the right direction I would be grateful!

Thanks,

Josh :ok

Mine are like that, I did a temporary repair with Milliput and Hammerite a year ago, still looking pretty good so haven't got around to doing anything more...

that would be great if you do. I believe one side has been discontinued! One side!? why would you discontinue one side?

Does anyone know if you can convert to opening quarter lights?
