Quarter light windows - where to buy

[Fin]

I quite fancy some opening quarter lights on my 1990 spec van

would it be an easy fit - or a complete ballache?
I can find the rubbers and the catches, but none of the other bits I need - including the glass, would it just be a case of trawling the breakers - or does someone make new ones still

The Glass is available on vw heritage. Ive just received a set of repro ally frames from ebay, to replace my rotten ones. They seem decent quality. There is a set of second hand ones on eBay at the moment but they loom a little crispy and would still need new rubbers. There a simple fit. Removed door card etc. Remove lift glass. Undo bolt at bottom and screw at the top (under rubber). Swap em over put it all back together. Job done. When your ordering your seals. Make sure you order the ones for no chrome trim.

I was looking at these at Busfest last year. They seem to go for over £100 for the glass, frame and rubbers. I remember being told that there was two types of opening quarters, I think one has chrome trim, the other does not. I'm not sure if there is fitting implications because of this.

Here is a set I found on eBay, itm no: 150992611966

Earlier in the week he had them down as £20 cheaper. Now £154

Still a damn site cheaper than new genuine

I've just finished fitting a pair of the aluminium frames from cool out on eBay with a pair of genuine seals for windows without chrome. They're pretty good, but not perfect. They take a lot of faffing about in the corner to get right. Then the glass isn't a great fit. They do the job though.

My doors aren't a great fit - so a couple of more draughts won't matter

[gtavalanche]

A bit of update on these cool out frames.........don't bother, they don't quite fit and when my body shop guy tried to adjust them, the tabs broke so are now scrap! £100 wasted!

I got an original set going if anyone's interested. Good condition - lower frames needs a bit of tlc but all there and very serviceable . Tinted glass IIRC. Not that that is that noticeable as it were. Although I have 2x tinted door windows to match as well. Cheers Jes

Mick at VW NW usually has some of these
