ISO Window for 2002 Sliding Door

[agoeke]

Hi!
The sliding window on our sliding door of our 2002 Eurovan shattered when the door was shut apparently too hard. The place I took it to to get it replaced says they can't find a new window anywhere, not from VW or any of their suppliers. I'm hoping someone here can recommend some possible places to contact that might have one. What do we do in this situation? Just have cardboard on our window forever?! I'm kinda freaking out right now.

Thanks for any advice or help you might be able to provide for us.

Also, there are people out there parting out complete vehicles. You can find them here, on Craigslist (West Coast especially), and elsewhere on the internet.

Good luck! Let us know how it works out for you!

I have a spare window. We had the same thing happen to our van. There are a couple different styles of that window depending on if you have full camper, weekender or MV/GLS. What model of Eurovan do you have?

I'm in Lebanon, OR. Where are you?

We have a weekender also. When our window broke, it was a big learning experience about what fits what.... We ordered 3 different windows from VW dealers until they got it right. The one we ended up with that, actually matched, had to come from Germany. It took a couple months to get it right. This is why we have the extra window, we just bought one from a wrecking yard that didn't match the style that broke to close the hole and keep the rain out!

Full Campers:
Full Campers are unique. They were originally panel vans that Winnebago cut holes in the doors for windows. Their windows only fit other Full Campers.

99-03 Weekenders, MV, and GLS Doors:
These all have the same door. (I think even 93 doors are the same but not positive.) The windows vary though. What this means is that you can swap windows between all models 99-03 and they will fit. FIT, but they are not the same.

99-03 Weekenders, MV, and GLS Windows:
Weekender windows have a screen that fits in the window so that when it's open, it keeps the bugs out. Most screens are missing but these windows have a smaller opening (about 1/3 of the overall window width).
MV/GLS both use the same window. This window doesn't have the screen and the opening is about 1/2 of the overall window width.
(93 windows use a different latch but I think they would fit in a pinch. Opening width difference is the same as 99-03.)

In all of the window types above there are at least two different factory tints available.

Hopefully that helps.

My window is the GLS style window. It would not be "correct' for your van. It would however, fit the opening. They simply bolt in/out. They are easy to swap. PM me if you are interested in it.

I know a guy in Auburn WA that has at least one slider window. You’d have to drive there though. Doesn’t ship.

Amanda,
I had the exact same shattered window scenario as you did, with a 2002 Eurovan Weekender. Am wondering how you resolved things and if you have any guidance regarding where to best obtain a window.
Thanks
Mike

If the windows are from a 99-03 non-Winnebago Eurovan, they will bolt into the opening.

Thanks. I appreciate the guidance. I'm narrowing down the salvage yards, trying to find something closer to NMexico so i don't get crushed with shipping costs.

Hello everyone, I’ve been on the hunt for this window since it shattered 2 months ago …
Anyone have any leads?
