I just did a google search on "ford transit window blanks" and it brought up numerous companies selling window blanks and grilles for the back door windows, I didn't look too hard but maybe you could find blanks for the rear side windows.

As you are asking for plastic panels I guess that security isn't the issue. If it's for privacy why don't you use the inexpensive frosting film intended for bathrooms? I got some from B&Q and it's worked a treat, very simple to apply with a water spray and a squeegee or a sponge ... see page 3 of the link in my sig.

I take it you're talking about this sort of thing

This was my old van.
I've been asked about them time and time again, unfortunately I have never been able to find a supplier :roll:
It seems they were used on some 70's and 80's vans, so perhaps you might find something in breakers yards.
I couldn't get the blank off and ended up leaving it on when I scrapped the van.
As an alternative I have tinted the windows on my new van and painted the surround like this

It might be worth contacting these guys as they have quite a range of self-build parts

Hope this helps and good luck with your search
Let us know if you find any :)
Where would ya be without a can of W.D?

That style of plastic panel, or the ones for swb vans were used on Autosleeper Flair and Frisky models. A call to Autosleeper at Willersey, near Broadway, Worcestershire could work. Those models were made on Mk 3 and 4 and possibly 5 but are all a few years old by now! HTH, I have a 'G' reg Frisky so recognise the photo.

Got mine from B&Q, about the same price as I recall.
