As the weather had warmed up, I'd been getting a lot of comments from rear passengers about how hot it was in the back - probably due to the the excellent work I'd done on insulating the van. I had wanted to put a sliding window into the drivers side but not yet. Ah well! There's an upcoming week in Cornwall with the boys and Dave so it made sense to have it fitted in the hope that the weather that week would be cracking the flags.
Chose the thoroughly nice chaps at Van Doc Conversions (www.vandoc.co.uk) to do the work. As with most of the work I get other people to do, I'd always go with a recommendation. Dave had used VanDoc for his insulation (I think) and was impressed by their work.
Prepping the outgoing window and starting to cheesewire it out. Seems to know what he's doing...
...ah, he's got a man on the inside.
I don't have any pics of it mid-work unfortunately - not much to tell really, they took the existing window off and bonded on the new window. Little bit of jiggery pokery to see if we could put some edging trim on around the window to neaten up the carpet. Sadly, as it's a factory kombi there isn't enough room, it makes the window stick out too much - I had been warned but worth a try. Bish, bash, bosh - an hour and a half later...
And back home with all the tape removed. Does make a significant difference in the back when the weather is warm - so I'm told. Once again opted for limo tint to keep things nice and private in the back.
