Motion Windows New Sliding side windows

[Zelten]

I was talking to Stuart just over a month ago and told him how I wanted to replace my Jalousie windows with sliding windows and that I was thinking of going with Just Kampers. He told me about someone who used a local company that we believe did the window for the Rivieras back when they were doing conversions. So I decided to go local and this is my video of opening the box they came in.

Motion Windows is a division of Peninsula Glass. Wonder if they make sliders for the rear side windows..?

What seal do these use?

[Zelten]

They can make them for the rear but someone would either have to send them the measurements or take their bus to get measured. I would like to have a sliding rear hatch window also.
I don't know what seal it takes but I'm going to contact them tomorrow to find out.

did they come with - or can you get - screens for them?

No, no screen. That was the one thing they don't do. We don't have a lot of bugs in the Northwest and my windows don't currently have screens or not screens that would keep bugs out so it wasn't an issue for me.

After months of procrastinating I finally got my windows in. The issue I had with the corners in this thread http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=659694&highlight=
,were missing spacers for the window frame corners. I called motion windows and explained the problem but it took more explaining than I would have liked before they understood what I was missing. After they realized the problem they sent the spacers out and I had them the next day. That was sometime in July.
Long story not as long, on Saturday I was visited by Stuart and within and hour he had the one window out and both put in. They look great and I'm very pleased with them. I love the tint and the quality of the glass, frame and tint is excellent. My one and only critique is the latch, while sturdy and will probably never give me an issue, is bare aluminum and just seams unfinished or less refined. They are small and not as nice looking as what I have seen on the Just Kampers versions but it by no means is a deal breaker. I have to find something wrong right?
so here are the pictures.

I didn't have peanuts to pay Stuart so I got him a hamburger from XXX Rootbeer.

great looking window.
I'd like to see a slider for the rear hatch glass.. then while in the back while camping can get a nice breeze on occasion.

That would be very cool to have a sliding rear hatch window!

Your sliders look really good! I am going to have mine tinted as well. What percent tint did you go with?

I have the Just Kampers sliders. They must have a slightly different frame shape because they were very tight. They also came with seals so that may add to the better fit in the corners.

And I just may have the screens. Shown here up against the stock sliders. Got these on here several years ago. Still need more driving ventilation. Jalousies are not much help.

How do these lock? Not a big fan of the glue on glass latches.

I just ordered the Lucky Brand windows for my slider and right rear from cip1. $396 for both, shipped. With seals. No tax. The JK's were $486. It'll be interesting to see how they fit. I would have tried to go local if I had known about these.

What was the cost of your windows compared to the just kampers version?

Still interested in how these windows latch. Am I seeing 2 through glass bolts in the pics?

[Zelten]

I'll take pictures of the latches later after work.
