dont fit it in if you keep the rear seat (6th n 7th) as regulations i think state that they should open! apart from that no dramas, but solid windows >>>> all over sliders

so i don't need any special auto glass

any glass cut and toughened with a toughened symbol on it should do

from a window shop for arguments sake

The rubber and glass out of an MQ will fit straight in a lwb wagon as will the glass etc out of the pove pack dx's. Glass shops should be able to order the glass in as it isnt specialised, it was a standard fix to the 5 seaters and the old MQ's. Hope this helps!
