I got stuck on the 1/4 windows a while ago and Blacky sent me this, not sure how to quote from anouther post so I cut&pasted this.
It might help you out :) but I kept my 1/4 windows but I was mighty tempted to go 1 piece.

There is another option , why not take the quarter window out altogether ? One of my EK`s had one piece glass in the front doors , it is very easy to do , just get the glass cut at any glazier and make up a piece from an old quarter vent frame to screw into the door and Bobs yer uncle!
The only other drama is you need to cut n shut the winder regulator because of the extra weight of the glass at the front - an afternoon in the shed and the job is done. If you have ever had to fit new rubbers into quarter windows you would give this option SERIOUS thought!
