Can anyone recommend a North West of England based, or prepared to travel, window fitter please? Also I'd like some sort of awning for the side of the van. We have a T6 shuttle and just want to be able to pull out the awning for shade. We don't need a drive-away or anything like that. Suggestions/recommendations for that would be gratefully received too please. Thanks!
Autoglass etc will fit windows. Simple sun shade awnings with poles, pegs and a 'slide in' Kador strip are very easy to fit - just bolt the rail onto the existing fittings on the van. For something like a Fiamma F35 or 45, it could involve drilling holes in your roof.
I can recommend Van Bodies in Morecambe or S J Campers in Kendal, if that's the NW you mean?

T4 Life near Preston?
Thanks both. Yeah that's the right sort of area. I'm in Cumbria. Ideally I'd like something I can just buy and attach without anything needing adding but as we have no roof rails or anything it looks like we need work doing. As for the windows they all need replacing with tinted ones so a much bigger job and I have no idea of cost.
As you're in the the true NW (England) and the finest county.......try Lakeland Transporters (not used him, but pricing is good and friends have), or Christian at SMC Campers. When I was looking at window replacement (leaky Sliders) the auto glass places were best - it's what they specialise in after all - Autoglass or Auto Windscreens. I can't recall which the best quote was from, but it was better than convertors, who are really busy anyway. The sliding windows aren't OEM, so check the look/tints etc (they offered a few tints), but then many VW sliding windows leak anyway. The place I spoke to said they fitted loads of T5/6 windows, especially leaky openers.
If you have roof rails, I think the Fiamma awning can just be bolted to that.
