Side window installation - Scotland

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi, 
first post and bit of a long shot I think, but here goes.

Looking for a company to install side window in the side door of our LWB T5 who is based in the NE of Scotland (Aberdeenshire).

We have asked a couple of vehicle body/coach builders / body shop type places and no one is interested or willing to do it. So can anyone recommend someone? Quite happy to drive an hour or so to get the work done, so Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire would be best, but would be able to get to the central belt if required.

Any advice appreciated on actual companies or type of companies to try,

Cheers,
Tinywee

	Not got a solution but I had quite a struggle to find someone to cut mine in and fit the glass. In the end I bought the kit off a firm in Cornwall and got a firm in Chorley to do it. Some of the guys on here have done their own, the kit I bought came with instructions, template glue etc. I am well aware of my limitations with sharp knives and saws, " I`ve cut it twice and it`s still too short" , that`s me, but you may be able to do your own? How hard can it be!

	Just pace yourself and you'll be able to fit it on your own
	Jumped Ship to a Vito but I hear a 2021 T6 calling, only real difference is the Vito cab is more car like.

	Thanks for the replies guys - I'm off to see a couple of a couple of garage/body repair places tomorrow. Mr Hedgehog, I know the limits of my incompetence! I'm happy to do some work, but there is something about cutting a hole in the side of my van which really doesn't appeal! Cheers, Tinywee
