autohomes sliding window

Post by lloydy »

If i wanted to remove the sliding window and frame from an autohomes komet, is there anything or any company that can replace with a different type of opening window?
Or is there a particular place where you can get good quality window rubbers for converted panel vans, as i imagine the windows aren't a standard size, any ideas would be helpfull, thanks

Yes i have thanks, i was thinking of changing it for a different type of window altogether, maybe one that opens from the bottom?
my slider is all intact, just very hard to open, all felts have perished and if it rains hard water seems to get in through the window panes. And i'm sure the window rubber is leaking as some water is present behind fridge after a downpour but i suppose this could be coming in through the fridge vents

If you get water after a downpour it'll be the window rubbers more than likely. The lower fridge vent does let water in, but that tends to be when your driving along in wet conditions which is why I've fitted new vents with covers on mine :wink:

I just bought some new fridge vents with covers, they are recessed and i need to cut the holes a little bit bigger, did you have to do the same?
I got mine from a company called rainbow leisure
