FAQ & useful information: fitting and replacing your van windows
💡 Did you know?
You can retrofit windows to almost any van or camper, and it is easier than you might think! Whether you need side windows, sliding windows or roof hatches, we supply the right parts for retrofitting, changing or replacing them. Perfect for a campervan conversion, or simply for more light and fresh air every day. Our windows are designed specifically for the VW Transporter, Sprinter, Crafter, Ducato and many other models, and cost less than the original factory parts!
🟩 Can I retrofit, change or replace windows in my van?
Yes, windows can be retrofitted to almost any panel van or transporter, whether it is a VW, Sprinter, Crafter, Ducato or another model. Our windows are made for exactly this purpose.
🟩 Why should I retrofit windows?
- ✔️ More daylight inside your vehicle
- ✔️ Better ventilation, especially with sliding windows
- ✔️ A better view outside and less of a “panel van” feel
- ✔️ Added value for your van or camper
🟩 Will the window really fit my vehicle?
Our windows are developed specifically for each vehicle model. As they are not original parts, there may be small differences. Our rubber seals compensate for these, so everything looks just right once fitted.
✔️ Does the new window need to be registered with the TÜV?
No, our windows made from 4 mm black toughened safety glass (ESG) do not require registration in Germany. All windows carry a valid E approval number and are approved for road use. No additional TÜV inspection is required.
⚠️ Why must I not use a wooden frame for your roof hatch?
Our roof hatches may remain open while driving. This means that airflow and vibration exert considerable forces on the installation frame. A wooden frame cannot withstand these stresses over time. Our clear recommendation: use only a sturdy metal frame.
⏳ What can I do while my windows are being fitted?
Fitting takes around 4 hours, and of course you do not need to stand by and watch.
Here are a few ways to spend the time:
- 🍔 McDonald's Stadthagen, just 800 m away
- 🛒 Rewe Stadthagen, around 900 m away
- 🏊 Tropicana Stadthagen: swimming pool, sauna & fitness, around 1 km away
- ☕ The town centre, with cafés, bakeries & restaurants, is within walking distance
After fitting, your vehicle will be handed back ready to go, including a leak test.
🟩 How much does fitting cost?
Fitting a side window or sliding window costs €300. Accessories and seals are included, of course. You can find the exact prices in our fitting charges.
🟩 What if I want to fit it myself?
Of course, you can fit it yourself too. We supply everything you need and are happy to advise you beforehand.
🟩 Do you also offer windows with fly screens?
Yes, they are especially popular for campervan conversions: we offer sliding windows with integrated fly screens for the VW T5, T6 and T6.1, for either the left or right side.
🟩 Why not simply buy from the vehicle manufacturer?
- ✔️ Our prices are lower
- ✔️ More choice, such as sliding windows for the sliding door
- ✔️ Fast delivery direct to you
- ✔️ Personal advice from a specialist
🟩 Why do we use real glass rather than cheap plastic windows?
Our windows are made from high-quality 4 mm black toughened safety glass (ESG). This provides:
- ✔️ A clear view without scratches or yellowing
- ✔️ Maximum strength and safety
- ✔️ UV resistance, with no fading or warping
- ✔️ A premium look, just like the original
Plastic windows scratch quickly, become cloudy and are often not approved for road use. With our real-glass windows, you are choosing quality you can rely on.

- ✅ Windows can be retrofitted at any time, whether for camping, work or everyday use
