Wanted Kombi sliding window

Shame you are so far away, my local dealer has quite a few they have removed from vans. Maybe if you contacted yours, they would put you in touch with the guy who does the warranty replacements?
Thanks for the offer but I’m coming to the conclusion that shipping costs will be steep if it’s going to arrive in one piece, this is a project to keep me occupied on rainy days so I’m in no great rush.
I phoned a couple of local VW van dealers today, warranty replacements get shipped back to Germany (maybe to put back into the production line)?
Non warranty items get taken away by large auto glass companies, I tried phoning one that deals with VW dealer in Plymouth but no chance of getting past the receptionist.
I have a local converter / transporter specialist who will contact me if a window turns up.
Cheers.
Interesting, when I was in the dealers I got my van for they said they have loads of slider windows they have taken out and I could buy a couple. I really can't decide if to go the OEM glass or not? I might just try one to start with. Slider would be the opposite to most people, but easier to keep an eye on leaks and less to damage as well.
When mine leaked I discussed their replacement with local conversion companies. Most advised they have replaced numerous OEM sliders with aftermarket so I would have though converters might be able to supply at a much better rate than VW!
(In the end I repaired mine (as detailed on the leaky window thread) to save the money and I'm now really happy with them as they look the part being flush and made perfectly for the van. )

I have no intention of replacing my OEM sliders, I just want to experiment with fitting a different seal, there are many seals available by the meter.
There’s a lot of emphasis on keeping drains clear but not much on making the seal rain proof, the drains should be the backup not the primary solution.
I don’t think it will be too difficult to improve on the original seal.
With you being in Swinton would your local be inshcape trafford Park? Did they give you a price? Id be interested in a set
Hi, no it wasn’t. However i have found out that a place called Halifax Windscreens have a good stock of them as they remove them for the local VW place. I know they will be willing to sell. Maybe we would get a good deal on buying 2sets?
I would be willing to go pick them up but would only be interested in T6.1 sliders.
I’ll be travelling down to Devon in February from Leicester and can transport a window if thats any help!
I phoned THQ as you suggested, they don’t have any and said they haven’t changed a window for 6 months so not much hope there.
Yes they will.
Be great if you could give them a call:

They come in standard and privacy tint. I am going to Manchester VW in the morning, so I will try and get part numbers from them and post on this thread, or pm you the info.
I would want the privacy tint ones.
