We have gone for the curtain on the rails rather than the vanshades. Few reasons, the price and also the I think with vanshades the outa part comes in abit so for us we went with the curtains...but either look great...I haven't seen any safaris with vans hades but I'm sure they will fit
When we had a leaky window fixed, the garage that did it put new trim on so I'm guessing the old one can get pretty chewed up with the cheese wire
Yep, just let van shades know you've got the safari glass fitted and they'll give you the correct one. Excuse the dirty van ...
We have just gone for the blackout premium curtains on the rails...really good and look nice tbf...vanshades look brill I just (personal opinion) think the outa part takes out alot of the window space...but either look great
Sure I passed you M6 southbound on Sunday, I was admiring the windows, defo next think you do replace solid sides with these
Aw no that wasn't us Sunday...go for it we have them both sides
. Glad I bought some new window trim seals as they got destroyed removing the old window (edit: thanks to @TeeCeeJay for the heads up on that!). Anyway it looks great and opens up a lot more than the old sliding window. Still got the sliding door to replace, that’ll be in a few weeks.
So we went for it this weekend, managed to get one window fitted, removing the old window was a lot more involved than I expected, surprised the wife didn’t file for divorce during the process

looks great they are so worth it
Yes its definitely a bonus isn't it the lock positioningLove the open lock position for camping
Having been fitted for nearly a year now the only issue I've had is when I heard a rattle and wind noise on one drive, a quick check over soon identified one of the handles had gotten a little loose so nipped it up with an allen key and job sorted. It's only happened once but something to keep in mind
There is certainly an "on the crack and still locked" option with these but I don't know about driving with it in this position.
Be good to know if they are suitable " on the crack and locked" while driving. Will tempt me into buying them!
Yes
We were think the same...I suppose you could have them open slightly driving but we havbt tried yet...could not find anything online about driving withh them open
By a very scientific method of stuffing loo roll in the gaps between the window and the trim and pouring vast amounts of water behind the window, I think I have found where it’s getting in. It’s the top right hand side (if in the van facing the window). I did struggle a bit there as the bonding agent is rather tough to squeeze out of the tube with the gun. So I’m thinking I have nothing to lose and may as well try and plug it from the inside. I’m thinking of flattening the end of silicone nozzle, ramming it in and giving it a good squeeze. I appreciate this is a bit cowboy, but if anyone else has any ideas of salvaging this mess before full window removal, please let me know. I wasn’t even trying to cheap out with this, just really fancied working on the van myself………
. Lesson learned the hard way I guess!
