WTB S1 fixed or pop-out side windows

[314159td]

I have a S1B, looking to get ahold of the standard S1 unbroken full windows or the sectional ones from the later S1 cars. I currently have rough-cut flat polycarbonate pieces, but obviously they do not seal well. Slightly scratched is fine, as long as they're not heavily clouded on otherwise unsafe to use.

The windows offered by s2europa will be S2/TC windows, not S1.

The windows I have are for an S1. They are the full length of the window opening, including where the quarter window would be, just like the originals.

In glass?  Interesting.  I have only heard of one other set like that.  The special s-shaped channel to hold them is NLA but something could be made up, I'm sure.

Thanks JB and S2 for the info. I was on the Kelvedon site but missed the windows apparently.

S1 glass windows are definitely interesting, we can get some pretty strong sun here and I worry about polycarb windows clouding quickly.

I have some ideas for windows seals, the frontrunner of which is applying simple U shaped weather-stripping to both the window and the frame, then using a flexible RTV to bond the two pieces together. Basically making a custom weather-stripping profile by bonding. Of course, could also just bond the windows right to the door if the cutouts match up nicely, I have some experience doing that from work.

Here is a link to pictures I took of the S1 windows this morning.

Don't know for sure but I think Lotus used glass door windows in just a few markets.  Guessing Switzerland, Germany, etc.  Everywhere else, and that's most of the production, got plastic.

Looks good to me, and would work well in my application. Sent you a DM.

Interestingly, 0234 was a BMCD delivery( San Francisco) and it has the glass triplex windows.

All the S1s that I have seen so far had glass windows, including my car.

Mine are , as you say clouded! Don’t think buffing with polish compound will take out cloudiness but it does do wonders on scratches and hazing.

[My S1]

Does any other lucky guy have a set or at least a driver' side (left) sideglass available?
