Glass Dimensions

Post by purplepeter » 22nd October 2010 - 11:00am

Please could someone volunteer to supply me with dimensions of 412 & 411 glasses-windscreen,rear screen & side glass,to assist identification of parts in the collection we're sorting out?
we moved 6 or so side panels from the attic yesterday,but no idea what theyre off!
Easiest way to do it is probably to measure to the trim edges
Cheers,
Peter

Taken a while to do this as I forgot and was reminded by Arcane posting his sizes.

As his is for a 411 Variant thought it might be interesting to compare window sizes just in case they are different

The rear most side window has a very slight taper to it dropping about 10mm along its length...thought it was my bad measuring till I lookd at Arcane's and he notes the same taper

I forgot to add that the measurements i took were from the outside edges of the chrome trim inserts.

Just to confirm the rear window glass is the same for 411 and 412, and obviously the rubbers too.

This needs putting in the section on interchangability of parts, no?

I think I would have expected the 411 and 412 Estate to both have the same window glass. I was really only confirming the separate measurements taken were different because of where the guys had measured to.
