Thanks that’s great...much appreciated...I guess if I’m going to a fitting service I’ll have the luxury of making sure they match before purchasing.

Where to buy your windows from?

Hiya
If I was you I would pop along to a VW show and look at what others have fitted (inside and out). I didn't like idea of leaking windows so stayed clear of VW but there a big difference in after market sliders.
Quality of the glass and or tint will it match.
Quality slider mechanism and flush or recessed
Size do they match in height to your other windows
Ceramic band. is the same as other windows or designed for a panel van.

I have aftermarket flush fitting sliders (both sides) from Home | Vehicle Glass Company Ltd fitted to my panel van. If you need any pics just shout.
I’d be interested in seeing them @Willoughby
Some pics, click the link for the gallery.

@Cham13 Did you go for sliding windows in your pack. If so, which style? The expensive flush style or the cheaper half slider?
A little late but I'd be grateful to see your list of prices

So, just about to start on the new T6 conversion. My old T5 had genuine VW fixed side windows fitted by Dean @vandoc. The fit was perfect (i.e. they perfectly followed the contour of the van).
But this time I want a slider and darker tint so looking for good aftermarket ones.
I have seen quite a few vans that the windows look wavey and the top and bottom corners stand off the side of the van. Are there any decent after market ones available?
Thanks

I used CamperGlass.
Quality is great! Very well packaged on delivery and quick delivery.
I would say for the side windows get an extra primer bottle though. I used the j-trim, that fitted perfectly over the both skins.
I thought they were pretty well priced.
I spent quite some time trying to pick a company to get windows from and would definitely recommend the product they provide.
Fitment is really good with regards to the curves ect.

I’m considering giving VGC a go with their flush-fitting windows. I think one or two others on here have them. As much as I’ll end up losing some glass to the thicker frame / window band, I think I’ll be happier with the overall look (provided they don’t leak) as I’m not a fan of the regular aftermarket windows that sit in a recess. Each to their own, mind.
I've used flush fitting VGC slider windows and they're very good quality. The tailgate is being replaced this week with a Camper Glass unit as it's currently only 25% and I want 82% privacy. @ £99 a new unit, it's not worth tinting the old.
Anyone in the market for a factory rear window with demister & wiper hole?

Yes I agree but when I found out the cost for one of there sliders I could glaze the whole van for that from camper glass. I couldn’t bring myself to pay the extra.
But yes flush sliders do look better, but I’m really happy with how mine are performing.
Out of interest did you see the factory details? I am trying to source a new manufacturer and am interested in the new flush fit windows a few convertors have started using and where they come from
I’ll check mine tomorrow for you.
A friend of mine owns a Window Import & Distribution Company in Carlisle. They do any Window/Windscreen for any vehicle. They also do installations if you are local amongst other things (a few conversions, seat installations e.t.c)
