Title: Adding back side windows that open?
Post by: Meesh on August 01, 2016, 03:47:37 pm
I'm looking to replace the rear side windows with ones that open somehow. Any ideas of who makes these?
If I found something good, I'd also consider swapping out the center side windows, which open so insecurely (even when open a crack, you can open the window the rest of the way or unlock the sliding door).

Thanks!

In Europe there were rear vented windows available.

I would also be open to looking into this further. I understand what you are saying about the middle windows, check out these security screens offered by eurocampers. Pretty cool looking also.

I got one of those screens for the driver side and it's pretty handy. Not the same as having the windows open though and still leaves the back area unventilated.

I too added one of these to the EV -- we had to drill a new hole in window track to secure the screen in place. The screen fit fine but its locking pin position was significantly different than the window locking position. Like @Meesh said, it's not quite the same as an open window in the back.

Actually, they know that the peg isn't in the right place, and it comes with a little extender piece that you have to be sure not to lose. Kind of silly, but it does work.

Anyone know part numbers?
