mikemelson Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi, I need to replace the broken Seitz sliding window unit in the door of my 2004 A/S Symbol van conversion. I am fortunate to have been given one from a 2010 Duetto which is exactly the same, but removing the old unit looks a daunting task. Someone, sometime, somewhere must have performed this operation. Anyone out there been there, done that?. Any advice gratefully received, Mike. (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I replaced a window in a VW campervan which had a rubber seal around it. I pushed the old window out from the inside by using foot power. Then used a piece of cord to insert the new window in the existing rubber surround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B. Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If you've had it given, wouldn't it be worth having it fit professionally rather than making a b*****r of it and costing more in long run? If you take window and van to an Autoglass depot they will do it for you for a small charge. In my opinion this would be a lot better and safer than trying to do it yourself if you feel it's a 'daunting' task Failing that I believe the only way to get them in and sealed is by using Parachute Cord but it's not easy.

dipsticks Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I could change the sliding window for you, or explain how to do it, if you have a replacement, but exchanging the whole frame and window assembly is a huge job that should not be necessary. Normally just the double skin sliding window needs exchanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
