Ale06 7 Posted March 13, 2011 MK4 has lower doors frames than MK5 ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
consul315 180 Posted March 13, 2011 MK5 door should have a "higher" window frame, and is probably different at mirror mount (can t remember exactly). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 764 Posted March 13, 2011 top frt corner of window frame on all mk4 (mk5 est,series 1 p100 ) doors is a sharp corner, mk5 saloon (2&4dr,series 2 p100)is curved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gl69super 2 Posted March 15, 2011 top frt corner of window frame on all mk4 (mk5 est,series 1 p100 ) doors is a sharp corner, mk5 saloon (2&4dr,series 2 p100)is curved. Thanks guys for your help,but i have just looked at page 8 in members cars at WHD101X thread and the door i can get looks like the bottom half has the whole and the bracket for it to take the mk5 mirror but the top half has sharp corner not the curve so does this mean its a reject door or are the bottom halfs of the door the same which means it will fit a mk4, many thanks.

btboy 50 Posted March 15, 2011 That's right. Bottom part is the same, it's the frame that the window sits in is different. I have a nos front passenger door sold to me by a 'reputable' firm as MK5 saloon but actually it's Mk4 or MK5 estate. Think I can get hold of said firm?

sheffieldcortinacentre 764 Posted March 15, 2011 the mirror mount is removeable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gl69super 2 Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks again for all your help,it looks like it might be worth getting then as the frame has a sharp edge and so should fit a mk4,many thanks Gav :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S80RTE 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Would it be that the one You can get is for a MK5 Estate which used the Same bodyshell as the MK4 Estate which would explain the fact that it has a sharp corner but the mounting for a MK5 Mirror. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
