Windows sliding
grfishmaker:
The original type door wondows that opened to the inside that you are describing were famous for rattling. I would hazard a guess that 99% of those type windows have either been siliconed or bolted shut (or both)to avoid this. They are quiet when they are open. I usually pinch a glove or something in the window to quiet it down while travelling.

What keeps the window closed when not in use ?? Is there a catch or hinge of some sort ??

1) I think I will take out the original glass and get a window
guy to make slider frames, I like the ventilation aspect of a slider.
and maybe go with a tinted lexan window.
2) Does yours have the round windows on the sides., if so, where do you buy the rubber glass mounts ?

Skenman, did you ever get sliders made for your windows ? If so, where to ?? Thanks.

I know this topic was ongoing in ( "Jeff's 69 Rebuild ) but it should have been here. I can see how easy it is to get things mixed up.
Anyway here are a few pics of Mike's new slider windows he had done. The original window is from an INTERNATIONAL PRO SLEEPER like this one.

Here are a couple of pics of Mike's window. The original outside size was 25" wide by 11 3/4" high. After cutting the size is 23" wide by 11 3/4" high.
I think the window could easily fit without cutting it, especially if you were putting on new skins. There is a trim ring that attaches inside & holds the window in place.

What do you think of these sliders for the front doors ?? I like the look of them. I got to check into it a little further.... Notice the lock that keeps everything in place is inside in case of going through the ice. http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m366/theoldtrucker/rubberslider.jpg
