sliding window

[bowesy]

our camper didnt have a sliding window so we decided to buy one for it and we dropped on one at tatton yesterday but when i got it home it was slightly to big for the opening that is already there im not sure if they were all similar sizes as ours is a devon conversion should i sell the window on or make my opening slightly bigger to take the window??

is it a gen caravelle slider or after market?

it should have a felt channel in the bottom and some foamaround the sides. with mine some one had taken what looked like a ratchet strap and folded it in half long ways across the bottom. it worked really well but was very moss ridden so i took it out. i have tried the rubber for a sliding mini glass but it is too wide. i am determined to find some thing though and working my way through different classic cars until i find something as i cant seem it to buy anywhere. i have done this a few times for different bits and come up trumps every time with a bit of modifying. will let you know when i find something.

As there a few different sliders can you do a picky of the channel and maybe some dimensions, you can see where this is leading
Bowesy, have you a converted panal van or had it factory glass?
