Is it feasible? I would like to put windows into my side panels because I cannot find any window panels for sale anywhere. I was thinking of cutting two identical holes in each side panel which match the rear windows so I could source the glass and seals easily. Has it been done before? What are your thoughts? Does anyone have any windowed side panels to save me the hassle???

I fitted my own windows to the side panals on my 88 years ago....you can buy the glass from the type of company that supplied construction company with the likes of JCBs...they can cut it to any size its also laminated,

Its fitted with the same rubber strip that the rear windows have...look for plant glazing.

Several vehicle glass companies advertise they will fit windows to any van. But as nickjaxe says look at plant glazing or maybe even boat and caravan suppliers.
I was lucky and found window sides after looking for a month or so.

what about putting two of those sliding window kits in each side?

Sliding Windows - Body and Chassis - Defender - Shop by Vehicle

would be quite expensive I guess
