T25 sliding door side window

Post by pcurtis100 »

Hi,
I have a problem with matching the window in the sliding door of my T25. I've bought 3 windows from ebay now and non of them are right. I have a "Freeranger" conversion - I've never seen another one but its all fairly standard fare - apparently they were built in Yorkshire.
Anyway - being inexperienced at this and running out of patience - my existing window was smashed in by vandals - so I need a replacemnet of some description urgently - can anyone suggest how to fix this quickly?
Custom build ? How, where?
Perspex replacement ?How where?
I need to fill that hole asap.
Any advice \options much appreciated.
Cheers
Pete

Many campers were based on panel vans, so may not have had original VW windows - think how many modern vans have windows from the original maniufacturer, rather than from a caravan company.
Mine has straight rectangualr windows with curved corners.
I would have thought that any normal glass supplier would be able to provide a toughened piece to your dimensions.

You can buy polycarbonate and acrylic from B&Q etc.
You just buy a sheet and cut it with a jigsaw.
More expensive (especially polycarbonate), and scratches easily (especially acrylic), but lighter and less prone to getting done in by vandals.
