That intro reminds me dont forget to deep clean your steering wheel! loads of germs about especially at the moment

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching! YES! I did wipe it over with Antibac wipes when I got it. Wheel will probably be changed soon.

[@chrisblay]

Really neat job. I always think putting rear windows in transforms the appearance of a van.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! They just finish it off don't they!

Going to be some sorted van 😎

@@DanChambersDAC yeah I totally agree bro keep up the good work 👍 👊😎👊

[@davidjames89]

The windows look great. Mine has opening (factory) glass on both sides. The design is awful, they don't slide nicely, don't close tightly and of course... leak like a sieve. Removing it all and fitting Camper Glass stuff would be so much better!!! Great video as always, keep it up Dan.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching! The factory windows don't have the drain grooves in them. The water can get in and then the gully fills and overflows. We have discussed a couple of small changes to make the production windows perfect.

[@casperkezmorris8399]

Really like this video interesting content

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching and for the comment!

[@steveeagles5485]

Great stuff as always.Those windows are going to be popular!!”understatement of the century”. I know it’s a while back,but can you remember what colour blue you tried on your old doors please Dan.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! They certainly will be. Made a couple of small changes/additions and they should be good to go. Drop me a DM on Insta and I will have a look as the can is still by my toolbox with the code on.

[@ebyandsmartie]

Great videos Mate. If when you sell this van, the new owner was to convert to camper, it can’t be reclassified as a camper due to new DVLA rules. They state must have 2 windows on one side, not including passenger or drivers windows. Can still be van with windows, but won’t get the better insurance without an additional window

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes, My first van was a camper and never reclassified, Fully modified on air ride etc it was still only around £450 to insure. My crafter is still classified as van with windows too. These style of van's can't be re classified to camper either as they need to be a high roof and not just have a pop top fitted.

[@THQAutomotive]

love you x

When will the flush sliding windows be available?

[@THQAutomotive]

When we’re 100% sure they are right. Hopefully around October.

Yes mate my windows original leak like mad all over my stuff Must fix them. 😁😁 so you will be keeping this van I recon What about a new steering wheel and a big system 👍👍👍👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching and for the comment! The original windows don't have drain grooves so the water can't escape back outiside! Van will be for sale as soon as it is finished. Steering wheel will possibly be changed soon!

[@jamesshaw3026]

I really hope these windows are good as I've got a twin slider kombi both factory windows leak as they all do, so currently sikaflex closed really need a good replacement

[@DanChambersDAC]

They will be great. Added a few small changes that will make them 👌 Thank you for watching!

[@PaddyWhackRacing115]

Love the content Dan 👌, did these windows ever make it to production do u know? In the process of a self build and much prefer the flush fit...

[@DeepHouseDaz]

Enjoying the project and vids, top work. That steering wheel is rougher than a badgers ass.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! Isn't it! It is on the list to replace.

[@Aziial]

Are you gonna do the facelift conversion? Personally I love the facelift look

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! No facelift on this one. The pre facelift are becoming rarer!

[@kristiancdf]

Neat. Why couldn’t you have done this three years ago when I fitted mine. Hate the u channel i fitted. 👍🏻

[@DanChambersDAC]

Sorry about that! I did do it to my first T5 about 6 years ago! Thank you for watching!

[@toast6135]

When the metal is cut out for the window, do you not have to bond or weld the inner and outer skins together like you do on the T4?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! No not on these. There is an amount of build adhesive there already!

[@daibennett9224]

They do remapping to

[@DanChambersDAC]

Yes they do! Thank you for watching!

[@matoroberts]

Good that they developed the flush fitting, i went for oem sliding windows because I cant stand the non flush ones, can't belive anyone can be happy with them, look so cheap and nasty imo. The oem ones have larger opening panel than these though.

[@matoroberts]

@@THQAutomotive Hi there. Not sure you responded to right comment or I am confused lol. My windows are genuine sliders, because I wanted flush windows and the only other flush ones at the time (last year), had a smaller aperture than the genuine ones and I don't like that. About the leaking, after looking into the design and understanding it I think there is confusion about how the drains work and should be maintained. Also the frame of the genuine moving part rusts and swells therfore ruining the drainage. I bought a pair in this condition, replaced panels with new ones and protected them for water ingress to prevent internal corrosion, no water what so ever coming in 👍🏻

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching! It has been in the pipe line for a while now! These should work better than any other including factory when they are released.

[@Hendrik-ym5ny]

Hi Dan, that’s exactly what I looking for! I drive since 3 weeks now, a brand new T6.1 Transporter and I thought, I have to retrofit the windows without side windows, because the current ones looks so ugly. But now, want these flush ones! When they are available and it is possible to ship them to Germany? Greetings from Dusseldorf

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching and for the comment! They should be out by the end of the year. Drop Transporter HQ an e-mail and they will notify when they are released. Shipping to Germany shouldn't be a problem

[@brokenrat2176]

What happened after you fitted the MAF sensor, what were your symptoms. I have a problem with overboost. Turbo cleaned, pressure sensor changed, but no joy, still bombs out at 3200 revs. New turbo next.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! Soon as I unplugged the MAF it drove perfectly. Changed it and it drives right now! That's so annoying 😔

[@drewmce]

How did these aftermarket sliders hold up? Did they leak at all?

[@DanChambersDAC]

As far as I am aware they are still Ok. Transporter HQ are improving on the overall design on the production run.

[@gordsjackson8109]

Windows that open closer to drivers door allow easy reach into cab door pins. I would rather have them how you have them fitted

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! Not a bad shout that!

[@kristi4954]

How much would that normally run?

[@Col205]

Could make this video into a song by ‘the streets’ 😂😎

Are these flush fit windows available to purchase 🤔

[@graemekelly9950]

Hi Dan, what did u bring your bumpers back up with as mines are looking crap?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! I sprayed them with satin black sunox spray paint.

[@graemekelly9950]

Cheers mate, does it stay on?

[@tobyfarrier1]

Absolutely awesome! Do you know how much roughly you spent in total?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching, Not too sue yet. I have it all ready to work out but want to wait until it is finished 🤣

[@tobyfarrier1]

Dan Chambers fair play, I take my hat off to you my Mrs would kill me. I want to know how you first got permission to do this.

[@vw_mods_4711]

Why so many men need permission to do things! It’s sickening

[@Ricqu]

Hey Dan, honest review, has the sliding window let in any water?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Hey, I had the van for 2 weeks after this window was fitted. it rained a few times and I hosed the van down if it hadn't rained. It never let water in once.

[@benlaw6195]

Alright pal I’m just doing my conversion at min and looking at windows any idea if the HQ boys have released these yet? Look exactly like what I’m after

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching and for the comment. The window's have not been released yet, They are producing them though.

[@benlaw6195]

Dan Chambers already called the guys and left my details 🤞

[@vw_mods_4711]

I have a flush window fitted in mine! Brought from Vgc only been in 1 year! water starting to come out of the track inside as the seals are shrinking. 😭

Oh no way! Hopefully you can get it sorted out bud.

[@vw_mods_4711]

@@DanChambersDAC I actually did sort it, called them and they told me to clean the inner glass that shuts against the seal & to condition the rubber, I put some wurth fit on all my seals and it has made them like new 🤙🤙

Did they treat the bare metal with anything?

Thank you so much for watching! Yes treated it with the primer before the adhesive goes on.

[@kimstendal8760]

Is this window from transporter hq? I have the original vw sliding window, and it leaks all over the place. Really annoying.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Yes it is. They are still testing these though to ensure they work how they want them to.

[@thedrvn]

Whats going on with these!? Take my money!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Drop @transporter HQ an e-mail bud. i know they were perfecting them so they didn't have the same problems as genuine or some other after market flush sliders.

🤣 You sound like the MRS!!!! Thank you so much for watching!

[@pogonoforysci]

Is making so many non factory modifications going to affect the insurance cost for this van?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching! Shouldn't affect it too much. I am through a specialist insurer and all mods are declared.
