Here you are Paul. Took a bit of hunting.

Its not laminated, the granules of glass are in tight, thats why its still in place.

[Duke]

That's the one. Price is about the same too, I remember it being around the £170 mark.

[citroenxm]

Jeeeeesss. Can get another XM for that.. well almost..

Will have to have another think about that - at that price!

[robert_e_smart]

Well its no use without it unfortunately. At least its not an estate! The corresponding piece of glass is NFP.

Good luck trying to remove one from a donor without wrecking it.

Sure is that not what glass cover on insurance is for?

I think you might get a new less expensive non-Citroen glass through a good windscreen fitter Paul, alternatively it is not too big a job to remove the bits and then with some help transfer one from another door, which is exactly what I did on my V6 12v auto! After the glass had been fitted I noticed it had the registration of another car etched along the base, ie. that was the second transfer!! As I mentioned earlier, the only tricky bit is the outer trim that you have to be very careful not to distort. Regards, Matthew T.

Hi Mathew..

Its NOT a door glass, its the bonded Rear quarter glass!!

Im not worried about the Door glass what so ever!

[MTXM]

Sorry Paul I got my wires crossed there, although it might still be worth checking availabilty beyond Citroen. I am not sure that the rear quarter-light original fixing is so very tough as on a car I broke the glass fell out in my hands! Regards, Matthew T.

That's a little worrying...it's meant to be bonded in and form part of the structural rigidity of the chassis.

I can see it being a pig of a job. Sorry Paul...best of luck fixing it...don' t envy you there.

I will have a look at the way it is bonded when the weather improves.
Have a pile of recovered glass from scrappers stored in one corner.
All waiting till I get round to cutting the glass out of the remains of the frame.
Thought it was well fixed in otherwise I would have treated it like a windscreen and used the cutting wire insitu.
