I've just purchased a pair of second hand defender later bonded rear side sliding windows. Having never done this before I wouldnt mind some pointers
I need to cut the sides on my van, I know Massai do a template, does anyone else do it? Or is it simple enough to mark out and save the £15. I've just watched the wheeler dealers by Edd and it looked straight forward enough.

Whats the part number of the sponge seal which runs around the inside edge, or should I just silicone like Edd China does?
Whats the best sealent/bonding agent to use to fit these in with as they dont rivet in.
Thanks
 
If there's no way to add a few rivets, I'd be thinking about using Tigerseal, or something as strong. You could also make you own template based on the size of the windows to hand. The jigsaw/grinder will made quite a mess of fine alu dust, probably a good idea to wear a mask for the grinding at least. As with anything like this, measure several times before cutting, and mark where you are going to cut with a decent marker - there's no going back once you have cut!
 
Thanks guys, tiger seal ordered. I managed to get new felt for the windows and after stripping them down and rebuilding I'm happy with then now

Thus was the felt I used and it worked a treat
