Guest MJG Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Can somebody point me in the right direction as to a previous thread or elswhere where I can locate information on adding rear side sliding windows to a 90. Also recomendations please as to a good place to get a good quality set of windows. I've been asked to help with this on a colleagues 90 but would like to know what we would be taking on before we embark on the mission. Fitting the inward facing seats/carpets/flooring bit doesn't phase me but the thought of cutting two large holes in the side of his Landy does rather make me want to be pretty sure we know what we are doing. Defenders leak enough without us adding to the problem Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael calvert Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 fixed ones sliding ones triangualr ones at the front????? a good guide for tolerence would be position window on panel draw round with a marker pen and use that for your cutting width!

Guest diesel_jim Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I fitted a pair of look a like ones to my 90 a while back. the seals arn't that good in them (compared to the genuine ones which arn't that good either... ) but they're tolerable i suppose. i went to my dealers armed with a tape, and copied all the dimensions of where the edges of the frame are. the ones i got were exactly the same size as genuine ones. measure 3 times check twice cut once!! tip: put some 2" masking tape around roughly where the cut will go, that way when you draw the mark on, it shows up well, and the tape will also protect the paint around the cut from getting scratched by your jigsaw/air hacksaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MJG Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I fitted a pair of look a like ones to my 90 a while back. <SNIP> That's a very helpful post, partic the picture with the dimensions, couple more questions.... 1 - any info. on where you got the actual windows from, and 2- did they come with templates or could you have put them any where in the side panel you wanted. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 That's a very helpful post, partic the picture with the dimensions, couple more questions....1 - any info. on where you got the actual windows from, and 2- did they come with templates or could you have put them any where in the side panel you wanted. Many thanks. I got mine from Bourton Landrovers in bourton on the water. no, didnt come with any templates, what i did was mark out the outer dimensions (as per the above picture), then measure the "lip" that is between the outer edge and the inner part, the gap is about 20mm, so measured in 20mm all the way around on my side panel, then checked it several more times, and cut away! when you rivet it in, make sure you use blind rivets. these don't allow any water to seep through them like "normal" pop rivets.

jamesledingham Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I work a couple of mins away from Bourton Landrovers and they've quoted £100 to fit a pair of non-opening side windows. (Or they'll swap it for my truck cab top!) Any ideas on how much just the windows are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 You can buy brand new ones for Paddocks for about £100. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john cranfield Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I used a fixed window from an old Series hard top and made a cutting template from the old window hole. This was easy enough but for the fact that the new rubbers were metric dimension and slighly larger making the fitting tough. Had I realised the situation I would have made the allowance when marking the hole. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I went to my stealership armed with tape measure and camera.... they're used to it... i'm always doing that, i was led under a Td5 90 the other day measuring the engine mounts, some customers walked up looking at a possible purchase, and stepped over my legs... i should have shouted out "don't worry luv, i'm just bolting the engine back in for ya" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90 Mellis Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I've got a Hard top with Windows for sale-It in the classified section if your interested?! Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muck Truck Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I could nip to stelers but nearest one is about 30-35 mins away and i dont know what they are like, never been. Mike, wish i could afford the roof and sides at the mo, the pair of windows i've already bought only cost £26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallycinq Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I've had a look and a search, or even a search and a look...but....is there a printable template for the windows? Cheers D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Masai sell templates on their online shop at £15. The landy glass fitting guide in Augusts LRO gave dimensions too but the "full roll of masking tape" to get the radius for the corners was a bit of a guess....ok if you're fitting full glass side panels...not if you are fitting OE style windows.

rallycinq Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 A technical drawing would be perfect, but if I need to buy one from Masai, so be it. Cheers D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
