Rear door situation...

[sprakesmotorsport]

Hey all,

After bit of advice... have a 340 saloon 5door, would the rear door from a hatch back be the same? found one for a 340/360 but the chap thinks it's for a hatch...... mine have rotton so need a couple!

Cheers

Saloon boot lids are radically different, you won't mistake them, no glass for a start.

3 door = hatch
5 door = hatch
4 door = saloon

3 door and 5 door hatch are the same, but were revised in 1986 with a bonded window and slightly different shape. Should fit though, but I've never tried.

Saloon boot lids are all the same.

Yer meant to put n/s/r door not just rear door leaving you guessing if i meant boot or door lol .

Cheers for the info dude, for £50 think i'll give it ago!

What you mean by the Boot lid is radically different?

Thanks

On a 3/5 door hatch, the rear window opens as part of the tailgate.

4 door saloons have a fixed rear window.

Door and tailgate/boot are not the same kind of thing.

OP is obviously refering to a door!

The guy I replied to isn't though.

I mean, the rear doors of the 4 door and 5 door aren't the same?
The small glass they have can't be switched between versions??

The fixed one.

Ok he used 'rear door' and 'hatch' in the same sentence, I'm getting old you know.

As to the rear-passenger-side-doors they are the same between a hatchback and a saloon. I have hatchback doors in my saloon.

Ahhh, i was getting annoyed, since i bought a glass from a 4 door hatchback, and not yet fitted.
