Hi, I have a 1990 autosleepers high top and have broken the L-shaped lock on one of the long narrow side windows. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement from please, I've tried autosleepers and VW already.
Thanks

If Auto-Sleepers don't have one then you will have to look at improvising by using a different design of lock. You could advertise for one in 'Classifieds - Wanted' but I can't see many late model A/S high-tops be broken up for spares. VW only carry (some) spares for the base vehicle. The camper conversion is nothing to do with them.

Thanks I'll try the "wanted" section.
If anyone has got any advice on a suitable alternative that would be fab.

Piccy no worky, Revster owd lad.

Do the windows in the high-top on your van open? I always thought that they were fixed.

greenland40, I directed my question to the Revster because I thought that he didn't have opening windows in the high top of his A/S VHT (early version of the Trident). I looked at his van at Bus Types & it does in fact have sliding windows.
Charles & Son in Poole, Dorset inherited tons of Holdsworth stuff when they went out of business. I wondered if any Holdsworth sliding window locks could be adapted to fit an Auto-Sleeper. Not ideal but a possibility.
