Fake Rear Quarter Windows - Trim Question

[chappers0987]

Hi all,

After a bit of assistance if possible please.

I’ve brought a Pair of VW T6 LWB Rear Quarter TOTAL BLACK OUT, FAKE Windows for my kombi transporter together with the fitting kit from CamperGlass but I can’t see to see on any of the guides if you are to remove the standard factory rubber trim from the sliding door glass panel.

Picture of the trim in question is in the picture.

If it does require removal what is the best way to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Hello pal, I removed mine...literally just prises off/away. Not the best photo but hopefully you can see the section your asking about

Left mine one but now you have got me thinking.

I wouldn't take it off if the windows are now fixed....in my opinion the gap will be too wide....

Is this a different trim? I understand its to ‘blackout’ the gap between the windows esp on lighter bodywork colours.

Thanks for coming back to me and for the pics and advice. It’s a great help. I’ve not fitted them yet as DHL have managed to loose/break the glass in transit so I’m waiting on a replacements. So frustrating!

How long does the adhesive take to go off?

Yep that's different trim.

I’ve ordered this trim too to hide any paintwork between the two glass panes

I left mine overnight..held in place with some Duck tape....also, I only used the adhesive in vertical lines as not to trap any water.
Use the primer as directed and it was all a real doddle to do...and I'm crap at anything DIY.

Where did you get your windows from, Camperglass?

Hi all, Australia here...I am interested in fitting the rear quarter panel passenger (left) over wheel arch SLIDING WINDOW...CamperGlass design...I will fit a fake 100% tint on drivers side...has anyone fitted these...? If so, can you confirm if an additional cut is required into either or both internal vertical C and D pillar internal skins...? What is the size of the trim that projects through and into cutout...? I can source in Oz and they are the correct fit for my T6 SWB Transporter however, if extra internal cutting is required I may re-think my options...TIA

I am about to fit rear fake windows to my T6 but DO I or DON'T I remove the trim from the front side windows? I will have the trim on the fake windows so will this be enough to cover the space?
I have a white van.

Thanks for your reply. I have watched this and IT LOOKS as though there is no trim on either window. I cannot find a reference to a trim removal anywhere.

 

[True Romance]

Don't recall seeing any mention of removing trim when I was looking, just adding the extra trim.

 

[Vanlady]

Yes, that's right. Thanks for your reply. Has anyone out there done this?

Which windows are you fitting and which bit of trim are you talking about?
There should be a bit of rubber strip that sticks onto the front edge of the rearmost window that hides the gap between the rear and middle window when the door is closed (and permanently on the non opening side)

I stuck matt black vinyl behind the window (and stuck the window to the vinyl) to hide the coloured panel behind the glass.
