New van

[bourbon]

Hi All, think I may have sorted a van out. High top transit connect double sliding doors. It has solid rear barn doors, I want to put windows in them. Question, how hard is it to do?

Fairly easy I think mate, my next door neighbor done it last summer. Said it was a doddle

Ive seen them as a kit ,,, or could you rob them from a scrapy ard van ? Or get the local plant glass boys to glaze you some in ,, lots of potions , shouldnt be tricky at all.

I've been searching on line, But I'm just coming up with window tints.

I put a set in for a friend years ago , but they were side windows , they came as a kit to convert a van into a camper van , available in clear or tinted glass too .

all im going to say is measure thrice cut once!!!!!
good pal of mine bought a kit that had stencils you stick onto the panel to show you where to cut and use glue for bonding on the glass
some how he cut the hole the same size as the glass
its much harder to put it back once youve cut it off

So easy Iv done dozens of windows

@james butler i hope he hasn’t got kids….

Do you want the flush bonded windows or older styled framed opening ones?

I think the older type, with the rubber surround.

Bonded are much easier to fit.

easier the better for me.

Bonded are much easier to fit.

but harder to take out of a scrap one than rubber surrounded ones.

Absolutely spot on! I can highly recommend Them they are really helpful.

Definitely measure thrice as said above, other than that they are straightforward enough to fit!

Iv done it once with my ex boss

Fitted a black panoramic rear door glass to a defender and realised it was sagging and not level, was an utter you know what to even get it to slide up

You will be able to get these out of an older can really easy and a piece of cake to fit

Would the rubber type not be easy for a thief to remove to get into the van?

A mate got a window fitted to his camper conversion. He got it from a local firm who do car windscreens, etc. They fitted it for only a few ££ extra, very well done too!

If you drill the rivets out and then pull the window outyes they could, you need even pressure to push from the inside though

But glass is glass and easily broken, just google van break in and look at the way they will cut through a roof to steal tools
