you will have to cut the holes in the B post, and no the price is for the glass only, the B post rubbers i can get but window seals and the opening latch are harder to get and are not included,

some say you can use window seals and latch from other cars like kia or daewoo etc,

Latches will be the biggest problem as they are near impossable to find, most folk who have the glass just make parts to suit from other cars,

Is that how much the glass alone is worth? :eek: I know they're hard to find but I paid less for my SR shell lol

Im searching everywhere for any kind of catches cant find any at the moment. I can't believe how hard the window seals are to find...

Mk1 Astra was the closest latches I found to the originals but they still were not right. I think if mixed with some bits off a Mk2 they get a bit closer but still not perfect.
Best seals I found were from a Kia Pride.
Just glad I got my sets when I did and at the price I paid :)

Right the bolt that goes through the glass and first part of latch is exactly the same as the astra gte one and the daewoo nexia, the second part of the latch that attaches to the C post is nova specific and for hatch or loon as they are different again, if your fitting into a mk2 nova you can hide the fixing on the c post with the piller trim, on the mk1 the whole lot is visible.

I hope it's a hatch you have as loon glass is different
