Replace rear quarter window with aluminium.
I considering replacing the rear quarter windows with aluminium to make mounting of cables and antennas easier.

has anyone does this before ?

Can replacement metal windows be bought online ? "Rafiki" 2007 110 STW - Rolling rebuild.

There are these which are more like guards that go over the windows if that helps?

I made up a new rear quarter panel which I am going to have put onto my 110 to convert it into a USW to do this and make it more secure.

I don't know of any metal versions of the glass insert though. If you took it to your local fabricators they could probably make you up a pair of inserts using the glass as a pattern?

Wouldnt be too hard to achieve simply aqcuire a templte and cut a sheet of metal. Then rivet in place, the or cut so the metal will fit into the window rubber seal

Pulled the trim of the insides, and there are possibilities to bolt it internally.

Will have a chat with a local workshop.
