Hey there!

I am in Italy and the lack of AC is no joke. I know the Italian minis had these fold-in quarter windows that would bring air into the car...

Can you fit those doors on a later mini?

Anything I need to worry about?

Mk1/2 sized glass is too small to fit into a MK3 door as the latter has a taller window frame.

Innocenti did make MK3 Minis with opening quarter light windows though. I’ve got a set stowed away for my car.

Do they just bolt right in? Anything special when fitting them?

the quarterlights are held in with small screws, some in the upper frame, some lower down. I have included a shot from the parts book below. They aren´t cheap to buy when you find them and will often cost as much as complete doors which is what I would recommend as the wind up glass is also smaller (duh) and the window winder is also different on Innos.

Wow, that is very helpful, thanks!

I am in Italy, so I can find them a little cheaper than you guys up in the UK can. 

 

And yeah, I would go with the full door and then just swap them out.
