Thanks Lloydy and Metal Mickey!
The van is a Holdsworth Villa 3. The side windows are the ones that protrude and have a thin rubber bead which fits inside the rubber. :)

Sometimes the holdsworths ones are a little bit trickier to fit the side windows apart from the s/door, as there is a fibregass inner panel, similar to autosleeper ones.

Me too. There the only ones that seem to fit. Do not buy jk ones, unless they've changed over the last year. They just don't fit!

I need a new window seal for the sliding door window, how do I get hold of one. Also the driver and passenger winder window rubbers could do with replacing as well. Mine was a panel van. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

MM, thanks, I'll get some pictures so you can see exactly what I've got. Is it an easy job to replace them and is there any special tools needed?

Hi Mickey
When you talk of inserts for the sliding windows
Are you speaking of the flocked / felt lining
Mine leaks worst than the Titanic
They are after market windows
Cheers jim
