Uneven windows normal??

[Beth4444]

Hi I got windows fitted in my panel van today and whilst they look good from the outside they are uneven along the trim on the inside. I mentioned it and they said it can't be helped in a panel van as the metal is not even anyway??

Is this normal or should I speak to them again. And is it even fixable or do I need to just cover it with something? Thanks

I would be unhappy with that too.

Perhaps watch a few youtube videos of glass installation and see how others have been finished. I’m sure this will provide the evidence you need.

I tried this earlier but they didn't seem to show the inside more the outside! So thought I'd better ask opinions

Awful install, absolutely no reason for uneven trim, or cut

Looks like Stevie Wonder fitted them using a knife and fork.

Surely the right hand window is a slider, so there has to be a frame within the opening?

This is the inside of mine, which are retrofitted.

I do accept that the rubber trim above the window does leave a bit to be desired though.

I wouldn't get anything else done by them, that's for sure.

Just another lot of cowboys who can't be arsed to do something properly

No way I’d be accepting that
That’s a mess mate

There is a nice straight edge on the inner skin that templates where you cut to. That should be a straight line.

I fitted my own, it was easy enough to get it straight.

Windows in, one fixed over the kitchen, two fixed on near side. The ‘carpet over the edge’ method looks good, but adds a pile of stress to the job.

I highly recommend a powered cartridge gun for applying the bonding. It was really easy to get a consistent bead in the right place. Mine was from AliExpress.
