does anyone know if they made novas with opening rear quarter windows?-I have some SR rear window surrounds and they have some recesses for wot looks to be open rear quarter latches, astra gte style,I am gonna try searching on the continent, I was just wondering if anyone knew?-wots the betting vaux used the same mechs as on the astra gte if they did?

a car that works properly?- think Im daydreaming...

dont think the nova had opening rear quarters as the rubber that h9olds the window in place runs on both sides of the body - youd need to do a major mod on the glass, rubber etc...

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotamy!

Yes they did.

Opening glass was an option in spain.
Was available clear or bronze tinted (not green unfortunately)
Glass
Seal kit
Opening catches/latches
Hinges

The bits are available from vaux- the full kit will cost you about ?160+ (unless you know which bits to nab/modify from other cars.);)
