Window Frames? Where to buy?

DallasHead · Post by **DallasHead** » Tue Apr 23, 2002 7:02 pm

I own a 72 Westy. I need to replace the rear driver's side vent window, right behind the louvres. The frame is black metal, but rusted beyond repair. At most vendors, all I have seen are rubber seals and chrome trim, but no frames. Where can I find one of these without scouring the boneyard? I would love to buy one or at least a reproduction. Help anyone?

I dont think they make repo vent wing frames. I have also looked because mine behind the midle window is also rusted at the bottum. Right now I have cardboard taped there but when I get time im going to go and take the 1 peace window behind the sliding door and put it on the other side. If you dont want to go to the junk yard the 1 peace window im talking about can be bought brand new. I hope this helped

I got my mechanic to install it with new rubber. Looks great. Part from Busted Bus is definitely refurb, but it looks quite good. Matte black. Much better than the rusty frame that was in there before...
