C70 T5 convertible rear window

charlotte001 · May 14th, 2012, 17:42

Do all C70 convertibles have a glass rear window ? I looked at the 2012 model today very disappointed when I found it had the glass window taking up the entire rear boot space which counts it out.

Yes all C70's even the older models have glass screens ...

That counts the C70 convertible out.

But better than a cracked yellow plastic one surely?

Thats not entirely true , the folded roof/ window lifts a bit at the press of a button and leaves enough room underneath for quite a bit of shopping . Make sure you see this and are aware of it before condeming it .

There isn't sufficient room for a wheelchair to fit, mine isn't foldable the back folds leaving the rest of the frame that is one piece.

Seems the more you pay for wheelchairs the less useable they become odd really.

I'm sure there is a way around the problem. [Wonder if I could fit one of the basket style carriers that XK120's and early MG's had]
