OK, Im not 100% sure about this but from what I understand these windows cannot be replaced without the trim that goes around them from the factory.

Most people (Like myself) have purchased these side glass pieces without the trim to mount them. Im not at the point where im ready to install mine yet tho


every person Ive asked has said Im SOL...but I havent tried it myself, so I cant vouch for the info 100%

if you hear anything post up the info

Yes the windows can be installed without too much hassle...if you let a window installer do the work. Otherwise without the blades they use to cut out windows, it's alot of work. The window seal kits are expensive, dealer oem is 105 each. You will need these seals to get the windows mounted.

Have I installed my 180sx windows yet, no but it's because I don't have the money (cuz of damn raised tuitions) for the professional to come by and install them yet. I have called around and no glass installer was able to get that window seal kit hence the dealer price above.

if you've gone to a dealership to get the 240 window replaced, they ask for 250 a window + window seals. For 250 you can get a set of 180sx windows. My 240 glass has a scratch in it and dirty/scratched glass gets on my nerves so I said why not.

The dealer wanted 250 per quarter panel window. Granted they come with the moldings around the window, I only wanted the seal kit which includes the moldings. For bout 200 if you look you can find them on ebay. That's where I got mine. 200 for both 180sx windows, and each seal kit costs 105. They are the ones that say "180sx" if that's what this thread was originally about on fastbacks only.
