LorraineC Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Is the glass (windscreen, front side, rear side and rear screen) the same on a GTI as other models? I am sure I read somewhere it is thinner and tinted on a GTI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubster Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) All the correct GTI glass is thiner than that of a cooking Lupo. Edited May 8, 2016 by Dubster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorraineC Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Thank you Dubster Is the thickness enough to notice? Will other model Lupo glass fit? Is GTI glass tinted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Will other model Lupo glass fit? - I believe so, yes... Is the thickness enough to notice? - In what way, in terms of weight or just looking at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 The only thing you may struggle with are the front door windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo1.0se Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 The rear screen is the same as a standard lupo. The tailgate is steel not ally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in terms of look CJ1 My rear screen and both rear side quarter glass is scratched badly so want to replace them from an appearance point of view ... Seems easier to find other model Lupo glass vs GTI glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorraineC Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 So the rear glass on all Lupo models is the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah, it may be that the glass is a bit wide for the guides in the door, I know the opposite is true, when I fitted a spare gti door glass in my wife's lupo s that got broken into the wind noise was dreadful as it rattled around in the guides.

jon_273 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Normal glass fits in a GTI door. I have one in my passenger side door. If anyone has a spare GTI passenger side glass please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting bare GTI doors and putting standard glass in them so this is a bit of a worry at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Yes there is. But both of my windows have issues (the drivers side has the correct 'thin' glass. New window regulators were fitted to both sides just before I bought the car, but I don't think they have been fitted very well, because they are still playing up. But the passneger side is worse, and it actually does get stuck half way sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
