			Has anyone has a glass window in their camper tailgate and then changed to one of these double glazed ones here
http://www.vwbusshop.de/epages/GuenzlCl ... 255070414F " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If so did it make a lot of difference and was it a worthwhile investment??
I am finding that despite lining my van with thick insulation am still losing lots of heat.

			Cheers I hoped that maybe the case was it very hard to fit aand do you use the existing rubber for glass window of do you have to use a different type?

			We didn't fit ours but I understand it's really easy. I've got to take ours out to fix a leak. I'll be replacing the seal with one from Gunzl.

			That's great,  then I think I'll order one this week and hope the van gets a little nicer for cold camping! Good to know it's easy as I've got a little corrosion around window aperture so I can just pop it out again when dealing with that

			Plastic coated washing line around the outside of the seal. Offer up the window and pulling the line folds the seal over the lip.... so I believe.

			Washing up loquid often recommended as lube, but be careful as many are full of salts.

			will do. I may have to have it in and out 4 or 6 times. There is corrosion on the around the lower part of the tailgate window aperture. Until window out won't know extent of it but it is being seen by a bodywork specialist soon so I will just get the window in I think and let the specialist deal with the rust later on!
