Guys, I'm sure someone out there has converted their Mini K windows to a MK1 sliding configuration , question is how do you overcome the narrower top frame when using a twin track rubber insert ?, do the windows still slide OK, or are some modifications required .

Your collective advice would be appreciated

If it's for a race car, just use a different twin track :idea:
I'll take some pics of mine tonight if you want.
The race car is a 1970 with lift up "K" style handles.
Even though it has fixed windows now, it has been converted to sliding.
