    Replacing of Defender rear sliding windows with lift up windows

    Hi all,

    I want to replace the rear sliding windows of my defender with lift up windows like those often found on ute canopies. Anyone know of any suppliers that have this sort of thing made up to fit defenders? If not, anyone know of a company that could make them up? Metro Melb preferable.

    cheers,

    Wayne

    Do a search on the site. It has been discussed before. One of the guys on here had some made in Adelaide for about $700 pr. It is on my wish list.

    Have a talk to caravan and boat parts suppliers. Both caravans and especially boats often have to have special size windows made, and these suppliers should be able to tell you who to talk to. I got windows made for the boat I was building in Melbourne, but that was over thirty years ago and I can't remember the name of the outfit or where it was.

    You could try Lowline in Kilsyth or The Basin. They make a good quality canopy and I am sure could make what you need.
