G'day

 

So I've got a '78 KE55 Liftback here, and am in need of a replacement rear left window. The problem: I've tracked down a piece that looks like it will match, but it's being sold as a KE50 part- can anyone tell me if this will fit? Having a bugger of a time finding out.

 

Cheers!

Hayley I think you're on the right path - this discussion has come up in the past year, maybe on the KE55, KE30 Facebook page - but it seems that some (maybe locally assembled?) liftbacks appear to be stamped KE55 on the firewall but they are indeed identical to the KE50 liftback.

 

Looking at yours I would've said it was a KE50. I think you could safely order a KE50 window with some confidence.

Looks like a ke50 to me but if you have doubt just make a paper template and send to seller for comparing

Saw a ke50 and a ke55 lift back right next to each other on Saturday and apart from some trim pieces they are identical.

Ke55 Liftbacks are probably the best looking corollas ever made :)

 

Like Ke30 and 55 sedan parts are relatively interchangeable 50's and 55's should be the same

Thanks for your advice everyone. In the end I called up the people selling the KE50 window and we went through some dimensions over the phone, it has since arrived and I've fitted it all ok.

 

The plate on the firewall says KE55, so I'm gonna go with that.

 

Dzhoel- I agree completely!

These guys are in Brisbane but ship Australia-wide and claim to stock all new windows for this car (and probably all old Corollas I'd say).
