Different Glass Sizes ~► EA82 Rear (passenger's) Doors.

Featured Replies

I found that there are two different sizes for the rear Door's Glass,

 

Is the Sedan's Glass, smaller than the Wagon's Glass?

 

No matter that the Door size itself, is equal. 

 

Kind Regards.

 

Yes, the Sedan's rear windows have more of a rake forward on their hind edges.

This is to compensate for the angle of the rear windshield and the glass between the doors and rear windshield.

If you were to put a sedan rear window in a wagon it would look like a pie shape piece was missing.

I went on my beloved Subaru "BumbleBeast" to hunt for a Car's part (that I needed to fix someone else's car), to a local Junk Yard, fifteen minutes after I parked outside, someone came driving violently and was the mere junk yard's owner, he hit with his car, a little on my passenger's side rear door while parking; so after a small talking, he gave me as payment, a whole used door for a Subaru of similar vintage, that he had on the inventory.

I removed the current Door from my Subie, fixed the small hit...

But I compared my Door with the Given Door, side by Side...

(here a Friend is holding it for the photo)


 


...and I noticed the great difference between the Glasses' Size.

So, the given door will be stored as is ... maybe I could sell it to another subaru owner in need of one with manual crank window; by the way, mine has Power Window and Power Lock.

 

I accepted that door, thinking that the Glass might be useful someday, because it came without door card, handle and plastics. But since I discovered the difference on the Glasses, (that door shall came from a Sedan EA82) now I know that nothing on that door could be useful for me at all, except the metal body perhaps.

 

Kind Regards.

On;y the glass is different.

 

All the tracks and parts for window and locks should be the same.

On;y the glass is different...

 

Yes, you're right.

 

My "BumbleBeast" has Power Locks & Power Windows, 

 

while the given Door has manual everything,

 

in this case, only the door's metal body and certain plastics are equal,

 

But the interior parts are swappable between each other.

 

Kind Regards.
