Had my passenger side quarter light put through. Ordered a replacement which was listed as near side but is actually driver's side. Can I just remove the glass from replacement drivers side and put it into the existing rubber for passenger side? Its a 1982 camper and I'm assuming that the quarter light glass didn't change shape. Been looking again and glass does seem to bow out slightly but I can't seem to push it into the bottom corner. If it helps the serial numbers for the glass are the right way round when read from outside thanks

I think you will find they are sided because they are curved. I have a near side fixed glass here you can have FOC if you can collect?

Hi Ray. Have been checking with seller and it is the correct side ie nearside. Can't fit the narrow corner all the way in, do you know if the shape changed after 1982.

Having a look on vagcat, the glass stayed the same for all non opening front quarter lights. The only thing that springs to mind is are you trying to fit a non opening glass into an opening frame, or vice versa? Sorry, can't be more help

Thanks - perhaps a bit more brute force will do the trick

you should not need any brute force to fit glass maybe a drop of wd to lubricate it if not there is something amiss
