Are the mk1 and mk2 / 2.5 door glass interchangeable??? i have heavy scoring on my drivers side on the outer surface and wondered if perhaps they are the same as i have 2 breakers locally claiming to have cars and I might get one without marks, the expensive rubber trims were replaced after it was refinished, the old ones being totally kaput… never seen so much scoring on any vehicle…will

Should fit. Possibly there is some hardware on the NA glass that needs swapping over.

I’d look into seeing if the scratches can be polished out.

Unfortunately not possible.To do a polish its door glass out and leave it with someone who knows how to, the time & labour cost would be more than a decent glass would be, anyway you could catch a nail lightly in some of them… Now its the only part of the resto that hasn’t been looked at in depth, imo its spoiling the overall appearance , when you start really looking…w

If you are picky, buy new door glass from MX5parts. More or less the price of a full tank of fuel (for a Jag).

I wasn’t referring to professional polishing. I would not trust the word of a scrapyard whether a part is any good, cosmetically. Half of them don’t really know, the other half are out to gouge.

Winding the glass down costs nothing.

I hear you and you alone should know this is the bloody North Coast of Ulster where afaik the prevailing weather comes WNW straight in off the Atlantic, nearest land the east coast of the USA. And talk about being unpredictable, four seasons in recent weeks in a day…6am early morn 35mph gusts 6 deg Baltic, mid day horizontal rain maybe 9 deg, evening sun 5 pm splitting stones 20+, snow or hail was only thing missing, so keeping glass upright is the way… I’ll take my glass cleaning stuff on tour before i hand over folding… w
