auf_wiedersehen_pet Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 As the title really? Can they be swapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 By tailgate do you mean the rear door? If so, they are the only panel that is the same between the 300Tdi and the TD5, so yes they can be swapped, or the just the glass used.

auf_wiedersehen_pet Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi plasticbadger. Yes, my clumsy English was trying to describe the rear door. Thanks for the quick reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyb0y Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 i dont know for sure....but i do know that i replaced my tdi door with a TD5 one - but it was far from succesfull.... im looking to re-replace with a donor tdi door as soon as i can find a decent one at the right price...and local'ish'... In my opinion, despite some other opinions, the door shape is slightly different - more concaved and ill fitting to the body in general. And, a lot of engineering is needed to make the latch mechanism succesfully integrate with the TDI body catch - which i havent done - i have to crawl over the back seats to get in the boot... this may partly answer your question.. i would say no at a guess but the glass and door are 2 different things..

auf_wiedersehen_pet Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 i see the guys above have the correct info.. they're quicker typers than me rich I love that - it happens to me all the time. I'm sorry to hear about the aggro with the two doors. Hopefully, this won't cause me much grief as it's just the glass I'm looking to swap.

carlosbeldia Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I bought a TDi glass and don't get with my TD5 door, it's a little smaller, so keeps rattling..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripper Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 And Im looking for a td5 one, I have a tdi one here. swap? i have a td5 one in my shed with brake light fittings if it's any good to you? kept it for my 300 but if it doesn't fit then i'll just bin it. has a couple of spark marks in it but not bad enough to warrant a change. am going to otley just north of leeds at the end of may to go on holiday so may be able to fit it in but can't guarantee that until the day before i travel with all luggage fitted in.

joe1 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) old topic - but does anyone have definite evidence of swapability. I see various aftermarket suppliers quote same part no for the two seals but is the glass def the same size between d1 and d2?
