What to fit OEM or aftermarket sliding windows.

[Paul Holmes]

Vw twice the price but are they any better than aftermarket any recommendations for a supplier?

I fitted glass from Kiravans for my conversion and I am very happy with it, it fits well and the sliders work well and don't leak, cost was around £600 for 2 sliders, both rear quarters and barn door, I think good value for money. Having said that, I do like the look of the OE glass and I think I would use it if I was doing another conversion.

I am having OE windows fitted next week i just preferred the look of them so booked the van in at exploria did not trust my self as you have to cut the inside skin as well so decided to let the experts do it. not cheap though and for me its got to be what you like the look off. and i liked the look of the VW windows.

Massive kudos to anyone doing it for the first time on their own van, I would be crapping myself making that first cut!

Bit unsure about cutting the osr panel out as I'm converting to a camper has anyone got any pics with and without this panel I'm using oe tints

 

[Halfnail]

iv'e gone for oe tints dummy windows both sides so don't think any pics from them will help if your cutting
But happy to upload a pic Monday once there done if you just want to see what it looks like from the out side as a dummy. if your still deciding to cut or not.

 

[Paul Holmes]
