Thread: Tdi ute - rear window.

Sorry - I misundestood the question. As others have said, Bailey Channel. I got mine from Spectrum Rubber and Panels Pty Ltd product no 350.360 - not sure if they are still going, website doesn't seem to work.

If you just want replace it with a singe sheet of glass, you maybe able to use a wind screen rubber from the place Shack linked.

Windscreen Rubber

You would need to remove the original window frame, which would leave rivet holes, and I don't know if the remaining panel would be stiff enough.

Here's another option for Bailey channel supply. Spectrum closed down some years ago, and another company took up their catalogue. It might've been this mob.

It's a bit of work to do it, but I doubt you would ever need to do it again, it seems to be a pretty robust product.

Ta would I need to buy additional products like felt, rubber etc? What about the bit between the windows, assuming I reuse the glass I have?

I just got the single sheet of glass cut to fit the original frame. Fit with bailey channel. Rivet frame back in. Done.

Sorry about the crap photos ... no light in the shed.

The product I mentioned is basically used to rebuild the slides to better than new.

You will need the Bailey channel I mentioned, a number of rivets and some silicone to seal the window back onto the car.

Nothing else is needed, the Bailey channel rubber is the only thing in the slot that the window runs in.

Factory setup was just some poor quality felt material.

I think there should be a piece of rubber between the two sliding panes to stop / limit water ingress?
