The Van's Construction : Renault Master campervan conversion

Fitting Windows

19/5/2014

 
If you are lucky the van you buy has windows already. Mine didn't .I decided I wanted rear door windows,and a window in the sliding side door.As these are often added in the factory the van will retain the "stealth" appearance of a  working van .The sliding door window also greatly improves visibility to the left when at staggered junctions,and is invaluable for visibility when driving on the right in Europe.

I didn't fancy cutting huge great holes in my new pride and joy myself.I booked some  professional fitters who came,and did the job on my drive.Actually a relatively  easy task,I suppose,in retrospect-but one which if it went wrong would wreck the  van.Essentially they just used a  jigsaw,cut out the template holes in  the door panel ,already obvious from the build of the doors,and the window panes then go over the holes and are fixed with a quick setting glue.An hour later and it looks as though the job had been done on the production line.

One strip of masking tape is all that's needed to hold the pane on while glue drying
