rear glass

Post by bustersmate »

wondering if someone can help me with this?. i bought a n/s/r side glass for my van a few months ago off of flea bay.well after tinting it(i know im a tw#t for not checking) i went to fit it, only to find its too small?.it looks to be about an inch smaller all round.its the right shape with the slope at the back.
my vans an 83 model, are early and late models different sizes? or could it be off a panel van conversion?

thanks for any help

Yes you are correct, the glass size used for panel vans is different to vans factory fitted with windows...

I know it won't make you any happier, but it is nice to know for next time .......
