Hey everyone, just a quick question we have a vy executive wagon with both rear windows don't go up or down ( both manual windows) and I have a vt executive wagon which needs to much work to go back on the road, so would front windows reg from the vt go into the back of the vy? Thanks

I don't know but if you measure the doors and glass which I believe are the same, then the answer would be yes.

No !,
They are a completely different in shape, size and mounting points.

Probably have to drill the mounting rivets out,
And either you re-rivet them back in,
or
Grab a 1/4 or 6mm thread tap, and tap the 3 mounting holes/nuts on the replacement regulators,
and use the appropriate bolts to suit to bolt them back in. [I did this with my Wife's 99 VT Berlina when the Left Rear Regulator failed]
Hint: if you do use bolts, also use flat washers on each bolt that shares the tension on the door frame,
as the door frame is probably/approximately only 22g steel.

Best to pickup a couple at a wreckers, that way you will buy the right item for the right car, for the right job, hopefully for the right price.
Do it once, do it properly. ;)

Hi everyone, were going to look at a wreckers but if that fails would anybody know of a website that would have them? Had a look and can't really find any for the rear of a wagon online, I am pretty sure the sedan ones are different? Going to get ones for a wagon but just curious, thank you.

Depends where you are located.
A wrecker in Nambour has a considerable holding of VT VX VY VZ but he is cash only and does not have an online presence as far as I know. His name is Chris 0409 499 423
