After using the van for camping and surfing, I really wanted to have some more light in the back of the van, but they were not 1st on the list to do, that was until I saw that Kira Vans had discounted their dark smoke rear windows!!
I bought the windows and the fitting kit confident that I could fit the windows myself!
 |
Before |
 |
Drilling the guide holes in each corner |
 |
Using a dust sheet to protect the rest of the door from sparks/spurs |
 |
Cardboard template of inner skin |
 |
1st hole cut :s |
 |
No going back now!! |
 |
Metal primer added, this is what the window bond sticks to |
 |
One window on. Repeat above steps to other door |
 |
Finished!!! |
As you can see it was a pretty full on job (in my opinion) I used a jigsaw with a metal bit to do the main cutting job, metal bit drill bits to drill the holes and a sanding bit (which fits into my drill) to finish all of the edges.
