Homemade Double Door? Has anyone done it on a Vanagon?

Looks great. I've replaced this panel from donors before Lots of work. i have a restoration in the near-ish future. I'm going to buy this panel. It's available in Europe.

Good luck with your prostrate. That runs in my family as well.

Double door. Does it need to be a slider? That's a hell of a lot of work. You will have to create the pocket for the track under the window glass and get the alignment really close. Then there are the latches, rollers, upper guide, release cables and so on.

How about just going with hinged? Either conventional or suicide wouldn't matter. Hinges slapped on the outside harvested from a splittie so some other source and a door handle and latch mechanism from a T3. All this seems like it would be a lot less work with approximately the same result. If fact if the door hinges, then the open at 90º it could provide support for an additional exterior canvas "room".

What about a Vanagon with no sliding/center doors at all?
