dailydriver Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Is it possible to retro fit pop out side windows into my Sport? My mate has a 1.4 S and it looks possible, just wondered if anyone has ever tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Not done it but we were talking about this yesterday and it looks like all the bits will fit. The gti has the recesses for the hinges to fit into, just a case of trying it to see if it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my 04 sport even has the holes alredy drilled for them so i think i'll gather the parts together and it should be dead easy to do.

dailydriver Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Chris - are you gonna be getting the parts from a main dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'll see how much they are from the dealer but i doubt it, i think i'll look for one in a scrappy first. I'm guessing the dealer will be mega bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailydriver Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Spent a bit of time hassling the parts guy at my local dealer. Cost from VAG is 190 big ones.Part numbers should be;W6X3 847 099 L Side Window x 1 @ £36.05W6X3 847 100 L Side Window x 1 @ £36.05W6X3 847 105 01 C Fastener (catch) x1 @ £21.38W6X3 847 106 01 C Fastener (catch) x1 @ £21.38W6X3 847 145 EB 41 Seal for frame x 2 @ £22.31 eachPlus the following screws etc.WN 102 854 02 WN 902 521 04 WN 905 988 04 WN 905 988 04Not too sure on the quantities of these, but shouldn't be too hard to figure out. This mod will be coming soon to my Sport.... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 remember Max's pop out windows pernimently popping out when he had that 18" sub in the car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yes indeed! I remember when he had a normal nut and bolt to try and keep one of them shut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arosa-beeftex Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I tell you what would be a real cool conversion with the pop- outs.....The BMW 3 series coupe has rear pops which are controlled electrically. I assume they must use very small motors to do this, probably located in the trim by the rear winows. I am sure that we have enough skilled people on this forum willing to investigate this and possibly do the same? First man(woman) to do this to a Lupo/Arosa wins my undying admiration!!!
