    I saw a golf with single piece door windows and was wondering if a mk2 window had been used?

    Citi Golfs are all 5 door though so I don't think they fit. Could have been polycarb windows.

    Olstar, the Citi Golf only just got the one-piece front windows so this 3-door Wolfsburg Edition almost certainly had 2-piece windows.

    I'm sure if there was a kit we'd all know abuot it. I think the only way to do it is to go with the luxury and security of plastic windows that don't open.

    I thought that very few paople covert the windows is because the bracing in the Mk1 doors is totally wrong to allow 1 piece windows.

    Sure I read somewhere that some one did it by using a set of Mk2 doors as a guide. They took the door skins off a pair of Mk2 doors and off their Mk1 doors. Then looked at what was needed to make 1 piece windows work on their Mk1 - can`t remeber if they made there windows from perspex or if they got glass ones specially made.

    I`m sure if it wasn`t that hard more people would do it, so it can`t be that easy.

    Trimsport do a conversion which replaces all the windows except the front screen with polycarbonate windows. The front windows have sliding sections (like a Le Man/GT car) they are 240 and my MK1 will be getting a set when it is painted. (Major weight saving!!)

    A guy from evo magazine told me about them, he has them on his MK1. As well as the weight saving they improve fuel economy dramatically! (like we're interested!)
