DQ450 and DR450 front door window frames

Post by New Dexter »

The DQ saloon window frame is different from that of the DR limousine. In the top rear corner or one the corner is rounded and the other much more right angled. In addition, the quarter light catch of one is on the bottom the frame and the other half way up the vertical part in which the main glass runs.
Can anyone advise which is which please? I have a chap needing a full set of glass for a DR450 and I don't want to send him the wrong front ones.

Hi, both my DQs have a rounded rear corner and a low mounted 1/4 light catch. Hope that helps, cheers, John.

Thank you. I managed to find a door frame from a DR and for some reason known only to Daimler it is different from the DQ. The quarter light catch is half way up the frame, not on the base.
Has anyone had their side window glasses replaced and what were they charged?
