Fitting The Side Windows

This was a daunting job..... cutting 2 big holes in both sides of the van, however if you take your time you cant go wrong! :-)

The size of the hole to cut out for the side windows is determined by the internal skin of the van. There is a perfect 'window size' on the inside panel of the van. This was used to drill some pilot holes at each corner of the new window. The pilot holes were then be joined up using masking tape. The tape was applied to the outside of the van and then carefully cut round (I used a jigsaw). The panel was then taken out and you now have the opening for the side window..... Scary, but trust me.... its the right size!!

All you need now is some primer and some strong windscreen bonding and......


....you have a great new side window. The process was repeated for the other side of the van.
