Our latest design T5 sliding window in 80% privacy GLASS (not film), showing the redesigned FRONT opening similar to VW's own window. With this shot we are trying to show that there are NO RIPPLES IN THE GLASS to prove that some rumours about our after-market windows are untrue, these windows are made on the same machines that produce Oem windows for most vehicle manufacturers.
Interor view of our new sliders showing the new catch which locks into the metal frame in the open or closed position.

A 'Genuine' VW Window professionally (?) fitted into a van and on display at a show, the 'Caravelle' windows that can be obtained from your dealer are not designed for a van conversion, ours are and have a larger black ceramic band to combat this.
This picture shows the silvery line that you will see on windows that have been tinted using a tint film, this is because the dots are very slightly raised and the film cannot adhere properly, also shown around the wording and logo on the glass. Our windows have dark 'glass' in that the tint is manufactured in the glass, it is not a film, dye or any other after-market process.
STANDARD GREEN TINTED CENTRE WINDOW: The standard tint on the T5 is green, clear was never available
PRIVACY GLASS: We now import our own privacy glass windows with an Visual Light Transmission (VLT) of 20% or looking at it another way with an 80% tint
SLIDING OEM TINT WINDOWS: Specifically designed for the T5 'VAN CONVERSION' as opposed to being for the Caravelle. Our windows are made in a different way to the genuine VW sliders and, as such, ours do not suffer the inherrant leaking problems of the originals (Google T5 leaking windows for more info on this), also, if you use the original VW windows you will need to modify the bodywork inside the van. Shown here in a light green tint to match the rest of your glass.
SLIDING PRIVACY GLASS WINDOWS: Specifically designed for the T5 'VAN CONVERSION' as opposed to being for the Caravelle.

OEM PRIVACY GLASS: Whilst our privacy glass is an 80% grey tint, the oem privacy glass is more of a wine bottle green with around a 60% tint. This picture was taken on a dark, rainy day and actually makes the glass look darker, in fact it is only marginally darker than the oem green tint used in the front windows. We do not keep these in stock but are available to order on overnight delivery services.

INSIDE VIEW of our side windows showing the edge trim.
TAILGATE WINDOWS also available with or without a wiper hole, this option is favourite for van conversions as most do not add the wiper, soon to be available in our own 80% privact tint to match the front section.
REAR BARN-DOOR WINDOWS: In stock, shown here in oem standard green tint, soon to be available in our own 80% privact tint to match the front section.

DIY BONDING KITS are also available if you wish to fit your own windows, contains top quality urethane windscreen adhesive as used by our windscreen fitters, degreaser wipe, body & glass primer, applicators and protective latex glaoves, please note that you will also require the rubber surround moulding for the outer edge of the glass and the optional edge trim. Available as a single or double tube kit.
EDGE TRIM: Knock on edge trim to tidy up the inner edges of your window as well as a million other uses.
SEAT CONVERSIONS: Shown here is a triple M2 tested seat matching Inca fabric with integral seatbelts, armrests and headrests. Please note that we now only fit 3 seats as a 2+1 on a minimum of 4 legs, it is now widely accepted that 2 legs per passenger/seat is preferable. All our seats come with a Certificate of Conformity for your Insurers.
HEAVY DUTY CARPET available in dark grey only, this is extremely hard wearing and resistant to water, oil, petrol etc, as used on trains, buses, aircrart etc. Sold by the metre off the roll and is 2.2 metres wide, also available pre-cut to template for some models.
T5 SUNROOF despite Volkswagen's best efforts to stop us fitting an after-market sunroof we have one that fits perfectly, not really suitable for diy fitting as it involves some modification work. Pop-up type dark glass with a multi position rotary handle and integral roller blinds. 3 year guarantee.
WIND & RAIN DEFLECTORS: These slightly smoke tinted deflectors are a real 'must' on the gutterless T5, enables you to leave your windows slightly open in all weathers, keeps you cool in summer and stops misting up in the rain, also stops you getting a face-full of screen wash!!! Please do not compare these to the cheap makes available which are either a really loose fit or stick-on (fall-off?) types. Climair deflectors simply slot in and are fully TUV approved, car wash proof and fitted / removed in seconds with no tools required. Note: On models with '1-Touch' electric windows occasionally the windows may sense an obstruction and automatically wind back down a few inches, meaning you will need to press the button again, this usually disappears after a few weeks 'bedding in' but we feel that the benefits far outweigh the minor occasional inconvenience. Sold as a pair.
FLAT AERO WIPERS: Award winning design, available for all models, the T4 uses 53cm for the front and 45cm for the rear.
EIBACH SUSPENSION LOWERING SPRINGS: As used on the T5 Sportline, Eibach are the best quality springs, not the cheapest but we no longer supply other makes due to constant problems. 2 types available for either the 4 or 5 cylinder engines.
VW T5 2003 onwards: The Volkswagen Transporter Type 5 (T5), introduced in 2003 and replaced the earlier T4.
