hayles Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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!

Mechanical Sympathy Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo2 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Looks like a ke50 to me but if you have doubt just make a paper template and send to seller for comparing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Saw a ke50 and a ke55 lift back right next to each other on Saturday and apart from some trim pieces they are identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzhoel Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayles Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical Sympathy Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 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). http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=400339143559 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
