Any Caravelle Owners?

[Olly T6]

hey guys I’ve bought some fake glass for the rear quarters on my kombi, now the factory kombi side glass comes with a trim on the back edge, and camper glass sell a trim that fits to the front of the new fake glass, do I use 1 or the other? Or both? Really confused
So any caravelle guys can you take a pic of your glass on the sides please... or if any kombi guys have fitted this can you post a pic, I don’t really want to see paint between the glass so not sure what to do!

My velle has none on at all, I’ll get a picture up later.

Is this what you were looking for @Olly hall .
As you see in the pictures, mine is showing a 10mm gap. It looks like it could go tighter to the door glass but not a lot as it would clash.
Don't know if a thin black strip could be stuck onto the c pillar to give the illusion of fully glazed throughout the length

There’s a fair gap between the two fella and you can obviously see the paint work between them.

About the same as mine @Northern Monkey

Hmmm not sure really was hoping to not seen any paint, might get my sign writer to put a thin strip of black down the edge before the window goes on

 

[Olly T6]

And thanks very much guys for the photos

Yeah pretty much @Olly hall I don’t thnk it will look too bad with yours being a blackberry, In saying that just go down the route @gal2009 suggests and vinyl wrap C pillars.

I got a kombi lwb twin slider with said factory trimming onyx white . Was concerned with seeing white between windows when had rears fitted so had the pillar painted black to keep that continuous black flow. To date have had three window installs and never fitted the additional trim to rear quarter

 

[Olly T6]

@sofakingwrong so you still have the std trim at the rear of the factory windows?

 

[sofakingwrong]

Yep ... @Olly hall ill get a close up in morning showing gap etc a bit better in daylight

Just to add to the mix, I have no gap at all.

 

[Olly T6]

@Olly hall.

 

[Olly T6]

Yours looks very close @Twenty Four

There is no gap, the colour difference you see is just the edge of the glass. One thing to note and I'm not sure why or if there's a difference, is that mine is SWB and the others on this thread are LWB. That said, I'm sure my T5.1 LWB had no gap too. Also the model is a Shuttle SE if there's anything in that.

@Olly hall - This is a better view.
