Hi guys

I'm after a drivers door window for my series 3 1998 metrocab. Would a window from another vehicle fit? I know a lot of the running gear is from a ford transit and hoped some parts of the bodywork would be the same too. Any Metrocab gurus out there know for sure?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the replies. I've already emailed sellers on Ebay and have been offered m reg window, so just need to see if it'll fit 98 model r reg car.

Would still have been interesting to find out if the window could have come from an entirely different car.

Thanks again

Alas the fibreglass body is unique to the metrocab. I believe the glass is too.
