General Stilo Multi wagon

[mas430]

Does anyone know if the glass from a 5 door saloon will fit a Estate multi wagon ? really weird thing happened today.
Yesterday I bought this Multi-wagon, 2nd one I have had & its a nice car.
So I took my dogs out for a walk & at the end they jumped up into the back & I wound down the rear windows about halfway, shut the Nside door then the Offside & there was this really loud bang like a gunshot & the Glass just crumbled ? I was so stunned ? So I have been looking for the glass, some saloons are near me but all the rest are up country. Appreciate any advice,thanks.

Hi,
As far as I can tell the rear doors and glass are identical on the 5 door and wagon. It's very unusual for estates of any make to use different doors due to cost. It's very noticable on some models that the rear doors don't match the lines of the body.

HTH,

Don't know if the MW and 5 door rear side widows are the same shape. However, only the MW ones are tinted green.

Hi Guys ,thanks for your replys.
G8 strangely enough |I know that the rear dors 'are' different as I have tried in the past to fit some that came off a 5 door saloon...BUT when you look @ the glass it does look the same. Re the doors, if you look at them the one's that fit the saloon have a slightly slanted rear edge at the top & the Estates is more upright. When looking at the frame that holds the glass even though one is slanted at the top the actual area that holds the glass looks the same..well thats what I am hoping ...?
Here's some pics of the two types as examples ,what do you think ?

Hi,
Don't really know, the glss looks the same, perhaps it's just the filler panel at the rear that changed. If the tint is dfferent it may be worth getting the right one.
Have you checked your insurance? The glass excess my be less than you think and may not affect your no claims. That said I did the drivers door glass on my Marea myself. Got the glass from a breaker up north and it arrived by courier with no problem.
