Discovered whilst away that the rear window of our 2005 Triton had largely delaminated. When I investigated this on our return the inner panel cracked in half (yes, I know, DIY incompetence) I have now glued it and taped it round the edges with T-Rex tape so we can still use it (away again in two weeks time), however my wife is not liking the clear tape stripe down the middle (Nor am I, to be honest), so a new/replacement window is needed.

So, anyone know of any rear windows for sale? In the absence of Jandi I have searched the Forum archive and found lots about front windows and suppliers, so I have now emailed my needs to Caravan Crazy, The Caravan Centre and Willemsen in Holland.

Any other good places to look? Nothing on Ebay at the mo...

Thanks in anticipation,
Simon

Kool Classics said they can get me a new one for £1100.00... gulp

Typically, there seem to be a number of front windows available at the moment, but no rear ones. Lots of rear impact accidents, perhaps? Or little demand for rear windows... Hey ho, I have glued and screwed it and it's the inner pane that's cracked, so still usable.

Have now had two quotes from UK suppliers - £582 from Caravan Crazy (will be a secondhand European import) and Koolclassics came back with a new one for £750.The price is slowly coming down - phew! One direct European source to go (hope it may mean just one set of price mark up...)

A quick update. the best price I received was the one from Caravan Crazy - a brand new window imported from Europe - so that's the one I went for and it has just arrived. It's in excellent condition and very well packaged for protection. Can't thank Chris (at Caravan Crazy) enough for his patience and great communication.

All I have to do now is fit it... will wait for warmer weather, I think, or try and find a heated workshop to do the work in. Updates with photos to be posted when I do the job.

a quick addendum: Because it's a new window it's original grey, not sun-affected bronze... As it's on the back on its own, that doesn't matter, however be aware (anyone else doing this) that the colour may not match the windows already on your van.

Yes, I think it is - the size is so specific that I think it must be made solely for Eriba (up to 2010). The original one (that broke) was made by Polyplastic in Holland and I will have a look at the new one when I get it out to see who made it - all I did was check the measurements and the catch positions when it arrived. The three catches across the bottom seems to be fairly unusual - and the trapezoidal shape is too...

I read on here somewhere that the bronze effect was thought to have been caused by a chemical reaction in the surface treatment of the Polyplastic windows. It will be interesting to see if the new window discolours in use...

Looking back at some pdfs of original 2005 sales brochures, the windows were originally grey - all the photos show grey windows - not a bronze/pink one in sight.

It seems as if it's only the Polyplast windows that go bronze. Other suppliers were used and they may well have used different coatings or plastic grades for the windows? Ours is stamped with the name Polyplastic and the material Roxite PMMA (07). Other makes were used at different times (and on different models at the same time) I believe.

Caravan Crazy say they are the only UK partner with Polyplast(ic), so I'm guessing my new window will have been made by them.

Is there some confusion here? Mr Calder's new window had differing colour on the window bar and the plastic surround.

Caravancrazy comment refers to the various tints of the window, presumably the glazing itself.
