ok so this the rear of my bundera, i am yet to make up the frame for the size of the window im after, my question is this, i intend on using some 6mm perspex as the window itself, how would you go about installing this so it was flush with my panelling, does clark rubber or any other shop make a product that is say 10-15 mm wide on top with a ridge or fin in it that can be pressed down into a 5mm channel to waterproof, and make the edging appear neater, i just made up the measurements, just need to know if such a product is availabe, any other suggestions would be great..
cheers
I install windows in vans at work and you just need some window rubber and locking strip. You will need a tool to install the locking strip tho. It may be easier to take it to a windscreen mob and they may have rubber and the tools to do the job.
Just grab some windscreen rubber and away you go , you can get it with a 2mm groove on the outside and a 5 - 6 mm slot on the inside for your perspex. We used to use it on weather proof switchboard doors. This is the tool to put the filler / locking strip in the back , Cheers Paul.
If you plan on getting it rego'd use glass as perspex is illegal- it has to be toughened glass with the safety standard etched onto it. Using a ute back window would be the cheapest and easiest option.

Are you after some completely odd size? I'd of thought a rear window from a Cruiser ute would be the obvious choice. Even just graft the back wall of the cab from one on.

Im looking at doing something similar in the future....
The 3 options I was going to investigate was:
(I wanted a sliding window)
- front window from a fiberglass canopy
- custom window + frame to my size made by a aluminium window mob
- see if I can get a carvan / truck window to fit
and it opens redneck style
