Fitting Sliding Windows

Hi all,

My landy was 200tdi 90 was delivered a couple of weeks ago now and although I'm a little disappointed with a few things (definitely should have gone to look before buying - kick myself) all is sorted now. I am now going about adding/changing the bits I want.

Project for this weekend is to fit the sliding windows as currently it's a hard top. I have seen a few posts on here previously but was wondering for those who have done the job themselves....

... do you take the panel out completely to cut or leave in place? What tools do you use for cutting? Would a jigsaw leave too messy a finish?

Thanks all for advice. Will add a pick of her soon.

Cheers

you could buy panels with the windows already in em and sell yours

HI THERE,
Done this job myself, windows came with a cardboard template, which you place on the panel where you want it, draw round, drill a hole within the outline big enough for your jigsaw blade, {metal cutting} and away ya go.
File the edges, place the frame in with sealant and drill holes for pop rivets, its that simple, you will have to cut through the strengthening section which runs horizontal but dont worry as its ali or burmabrite same as panel, Hope this helps, Tony.

HI AGAIN, Meant to say, place the window on the panel where you want it, also mask the panel so your jigsaw doesnt scratch the paint, ps, it can be done with side panel in situ. Tony.

Thanks Tony, that is a great help... time to be brave tomorrow!
