I bought this window a while ago which was labelled as a t25 item with the intention of either replacing our damaged one, our using it in the sliding door:



However when I compare it to the sliding window in our van, it is the same height, but about 30mm shorter on the length.

Our van is an autohomes conversion, which I believe were supplied with factory windows, so is this other window one for a converted panel van, or for a later design?

The glass in the window is etched with a VW logo, which is why I thought it was a factory window...

Any idea what it is for?

Thanks

It looks the same as what I have in my Devon conversion, in the sliding door

Most british T25 camper converters used panel vans without factory windows, just cut their own in. That slider window is from a sliding door on a right hand drive factory fitted window van.

For some reason, I thought that Autohomes conversions were factory fitted windows.

Ours is a Mk1 Autohomes Kamper with the VW 'Camping' badge on the rear.

A sliding window for a RHD van is precisely what I wanted, but it looks like my aperture is too long (albeit spot on for height).

Look out for a sliding window in the for sale section soon...

Thanks

There is also an early or late size for the window on a sliding door.

Ah, that would make sense. The window definitely looks late, but ours is certainly an early van...

Thanks

Early vans to 1985 the sliding door window is 1082mm long, post 1985 they are 1052mm

So is this window for a late bus, with factory fitted windows?
