Re: windows !
Hi jeffdub, you may get a better response posting in ''Technical'' - ''Bodywork, Seats & Glass''. There will be members posting about their experience of fitting side windows etc.

Re: windows !
its all down to the window rubber you use...size of the window plus the thickness of the divide in the rubber

Re: windows !
Get a donor and fit proper windows.
I think they look a little better than panel conversion windows and they dont seem to rust out or leak like panel conversion windows.
I fitted them to my panel van and now have 2 factory windows in it.
