Hi folks,
I'd like to fit an original sliding window into my sliding door of my panel van.
I need to get a seal, but also would appreciate any instruction/guidance on how to do it please?

Re: Cutting window into panel van sliding door
Yes, get a Kombi/Caravelle door and a factory slider will fit/may be included.
I've cut a panel van door to fit a window, but it's a unique window whereas you can save a lot of hassle and a wasted door.
