Thread: Opening rear side windows for Series III

The answer to both questions is yes. Station wagons had sliding windows. Caravan type opening windows were readily available.

I was just recently wondering the same thing!

Are the swb ones the same size as the lwb ones? I have seen a few sliding windows in the 88's. I want a pair too for my 109 Hardtop.

Hate sleeping with no air!

Cheers for the info

Yes, I have them on my series 3, I need to replace one, so I am also looking for a place to get them from.

88" 2-3 rear window panels fit 109" station wagons, and vice-versa. I've also discovered that 95 110" station wagon panels fit. I don't think Defender 90 panels will, though.

Thanks All for your useful info, Regards Frank.

No - basic dimensions for lwb are unchanged 1958 to present, and 88 rear side panels are the same size as 109/110 station wagon ones. But the 90 has a four inch longer wheelbase than the 88, and correspondingly longer body, so the side panels and hence windows are different.

Look for somebody converting a bus to a camper.They normally remove many of the windows during the fit out.Problem may be that they are too tall.
Goodluck

I have seen defender ones fitted, but it must need some cutting as they are larger.
