I got a 2003 Eurovan MVC with a broken sliding window on the passenger slider door. The window has a screen. The stationary window is fine. A few questions.

1. Are non-screen windows compatible with my model? I have found sliding windows, but not one with a screen.

2. Can I replace just the window or do I have to replace the whole window unit?

Been looking here on Samba, eBay, and calling junkyards, etc. Any leads are appreciated.

Thanks.

I _believe_ that the only difference between screened and non-screen sliding window glass is the location of the release. I'll measure both tomorrow and confirm. If true then you could get any GLS/MV sliding glass (fairly easy to find) and just epoxy the release back to the correct location.

Westy windows pane width is different than MV/GLS windows. Take a look at images of westy vs MV/GLS and it will become very obvious to you. I never noticed until ours broke also. Smile

I ended up buying an MV slider since it fits the door, just to block the hole until I could get a westy slider. The overall dimensions are the same. I still have the MV slider if you are interested.....
