Car Forum / BMW Cars / January 2005Can't see thru platic back window anymore
Have 1995 318 convertible and need to replace the back window. New models have a glass window. Is there a way to replace the plastic window with glass? Or would that require a different geometry of the top frame mechanism? Any recommendations from those that have done this already?

Unfortunately, the glass window top is a totally different design (I have a 1996 328iC, and had the same problem). However, the window is available by itself, and can be replaced without replacing the whole top. I bought a rear window on EBay, the seller included instructions. After looking at them, I decided to have it done by the dealer. This is 1.5 years ago, I don't remember exactly what the install cost was, but it was reasonable (especially compared to replacing the whole top). I also have a hardtop for my 328, it has a much larger window than the convertible top. Jim |
