I have a panel tailgate is it possible to cut out for glass

[ripcurldude73]

I have a 1989 T25 panel van, it is a bit dark in the back so i would like a window in the tailgate is it possible to cut out and fit glass or will i have to buy a whole new tailgate??

[..lee..]

i think the answer is yes. BUT window tailgates are less rare than yours. so check that you cant do a swap with someone who needs a solid tailgate. 2 folks end up getting what they want then.

My god dont cut that rare as hens teeth solid door !!! they fetch £200 easy if in good rust free condition! took me nearly year to find one for sale!

[ripcurldude73]

glad I read this as I have a solid tailgate in my garage which was going to scrap. I took it off my panel van as it was a bit rusty at the bottom and need more light.

Thanks

A solid tailgate that is rusty at the bottom. Are you a short tall guy who's well shaven with a beard?

ok, ok, ok I'll take the bait

should have been more specific - the tailgate I have is one from a commercial van (solid panel where there is glass on the non-commercial vans). The tailgate has rust on the inner lower section but not too bad and some very minor rust spots on the outside panel.

Seen as how you are all being soooooooooooooo cruel to my tailgate i'm going to keep it

No no it will rust more and be very unhappy, please let me buy it
