Sliding door window?

[RedOrZed]

Hi all. A mate of mine has a MK5 semi-hi, and is looking to fit a window into the sliding door. As the owner of a jig saw and a hammer I get to assist in this, so I'm asking for some advice.

He's got some large sheets of thickish smoked perspex. Is it simply a case of sawing out the hole, cutting the perspex to suit and bolting it together with a bit of rubber between the door and the window?

Cheers for any ideas.

use the propper transit rubber and it'll be fine

you should be able to pick the real complete thing up for peanuts i reckon , with a sliding glass panel

I wasn't impressed with the idea either, and drilling holes in perspex is generally a nightmare!

But if we buy the rubber from Ford and cut to the exact size of a standard window, that should be OK?

Or just advertise on here for a complete door? They can't be that hard to swap?

I didnt mean the door mate ,,, get the window out of a breaker,,tourneo or minibus/crewcab or something ,, ive seen it done in perspex,, it didnt look right,,only my humble opinion though m8 have a look in parts for sale ,, or even ebay.. i reckon £30 and you got the real thing ..easier to fit then too

Your opinion is quite welcome, no offense taken I'll send him down the local breakers yard over the next couple of weeks to have a look & a measure.

That would work and look ok until the perpex gets scratched and goes dull and sh1tty
