Side windows (plastic)

Post by luketapis »

Hi
I bought my 1st t25 last week.
I would like to change side windows as they are very dim and scratched (plastic). Unfortunatelly I can't find a right size.
Where can I get them?

The size of window (in cm): 102 x 43, the size of plastic: 94 x 35.5
and the second window:

84 x 43.5: the size of plastic: 76 x 35

somebody spent a lot of money fitting those, you would need a set of windows(glass) and a set of seals and then recut the holes in the van to take the them.

I quite like them - haven't seen that type of window before

They aren't original VW windows - looks like some sort of panel van conversion

Original VW windows fill the panels, and the rear one is a funny shape - see photo

They are nice, you can really remove a lot of scratches by cleaning the plastic with brasso or similar type product

Indeed,and to disguise the lack of angle on the rear ones I would consider painting between the swages which would look really good ,oh and any bodyshop would buff them up real quick and easy, any name on the windows
