Open a Photobucket account, upload your picture. Hover your cursor over the picture and a few little options will appear below it. Click on second from bottom option (I think) and the work 'copied' will appear momentarily. Paste it into your 80-90 reply and hey presto, there it is once you've previewed or submitted your post

Here is my Van.

Looks great, is that the original window mine is shot so I am looking for a way of replacing it without taking the canvas off and having a new one stitched in..... Any ideas

Yes they are the original windows and they've leaked. Hopefully they will be sorted now as I've used Storm Seal all around edges both outside and in, but I haven't been out in heavy rain since I did them. My brother-in-law has a viking too and he has removed his windows and has stitched in new clear plastic which he brought on a roll from ebay (I think). He reckons he is leak free now.

I have to say if I had the money I would love to replace the canvas but its not a cheap job, so I'm keeping the original on. It looks pretty good for its age but I have had leaks underneath the canvas where it joins the van. Thats another job I need to do.

You can never leave these vans alone, but I think theyre worth it!

Hi there , how did your brother stitch new windows in without taking canvas off , as mine are shot and bodged in . Leak free but look crap.
Any info would be great .
Thanks daz

Hi,

He left the canvas on and unstitched the original windows. His wife got into the roof, she stiched from the inside and he stood on a ladder and passed the needle back through from the outside. Took him a while but he got it sorted in the end. He still had to seal around the window when he was done though!
