Looking for sliding windows parts for factory fitted windows for 73 bus

Where are you at

Very hard to find as there were different makers

I didn't think sliding windows came out until much later, I'm pretty sure 1973 models had fixed glass with flipper windows

Sliders came out from factory in Australian busses in 1977.


What parts are you after?

The latch and other bits if the trim are the same T3/Vanagon

Most of it is available from Gowesty and Van-Cafe

I just rebuilt a set for my 1976
Well worth it.

thanks folks.

I have a 73 bus and am installing orginal sliding windows. needing to replace the rubbers and sliders to keep water out. not sure of brand.

If the latch is at the bottom front they are original VW

If it is at front side 3:00 or 9:00 o'clock (depending on the side) then they are aftermarket or Brazillian

I got my bits from GoWesty
You will need this bit if you are taking the window out to replace the felt
