Converted Van Glass issues

Currently have all the glass/rubbers out as the van is being resprayed.

Tghe van is a converted panel van and I need replacement rubbers for the rear quarters as well as the sliding door one.
On top of that I also need replacement glass for the sliding door which is 1015x382mm in size

There looks to be so many different types and sizes of rubbers/seals and different sizes of glass I am unsure what I need.

I also see there was either clear or green tint glass. Again I am unsure which I have. Is the green easy to spot?

Any help/guidance would be great

I am basically looking for the correct type and size rubbers for the rear quarter glass along with the correct size and colour glass and seal for the sliding door.

get a white piece of paper and put it behind the glass if it stays white its clear if it goes green its tinted. may be a kite mark or makers etch in one of the corners and they usually state if there tinted. but you may just have cut glass with no markings at all depends where it originated from..... seals - well theres loads to choose from - depends again on what you have already?

Speak to Metalmick on here
He can supply you with the rubbers ,best quality that will work fine
Is glass curved or flat?
I've done lots of converted vans, some use flat caravelle type glass, often converters used a slightly curved glass

As you already have the old seals out, you could cut a small section and send it to somewhere like Woolies to get an exact match.

Thanks for the replies all


The glass does seem curved if that helps
