Hi, my beloved converted panel van was the victim of someone else's poor reversing. I have straightened the panel but need a replacement glass. Any suggestions where I can source some? Alternatively if anyone has any experience of fitting a louvre window into the panel van aperture I would love to learn more. Cheers Andy
I'd be interested in this too. My windows look to be too thin for any seals I can get so I'm looking to get some new windows at some point.
I will probably have two spare as I am thinking of welding panels back into mine only prob is i don't know when that will b unless u wanna come do it for me

Hi Beaver, What type of window did you get? Did you modify the aperture? A louvre is my preferred solution but happy to take what I can get. Cheers Andy
Have a look at www.partsemporium.co.uk They always seem to have panel van glass in stock. EDIT - just looked - £30 each. SECOND EDIT - I have a louvre in mine. Look out for Devon ones.
i have a full set from a converted panel van, (curved glass). how does £80 the lot sound? collection from county durham.... wouldnt like to rely on a courier to handle with care.
It was already in the van so no idea where it came from originally. We did a resto on the van including repairing the window holes then put the old windows back in. It looks like a devon style window but I'm not sure if it's different to what they'd put in a factory windowed van. I can get you a picture at some point, but the van's tucked away in the corner of the workshop under a cover and I can't get at it just yet. We've got a t3 ex-panel in for frame repairs at the moment and that's got a sliding window in opposite the sliding door.
Hi hi Taypic, That sounds tempting, but i am in Devon. Though I could ask my old mum in Darlington to pick them up. I will check out some local options and get back to you. Are they triplex? I have learnt through this forum that there are various sizes, but triplex was the most common. Cheers Andy
Damn, missed out again! I've got glass I cant seem to give away! 2 x triplex curved panel van conversion bits, think they're both rear side bits, free to anyone who collects!
Hi @Kruger what dimensions are these (inc thickness)? I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my windows.
1090 x 386mm, not sure on thickness, but think they are thick! possibly laminated as they're heavy, definately Triplex curved though. Send me a pm if interested, they're not in A1 condition, might have overspray, the odd scratch or grinder spark splatter, not sure if they are etched, but they are free! Sorry for the thread hijack!
