Eriba Rear Window Handles

Whilst browsing through recent posts, I've just noticed that although Agger's and Aaron Calder's Eribas appear to be of the same era, Agger's van has three rear window handles along the bottom whereas Aaron's has two. The window also has a different shape.
Looking at a photo of Frantone's new van, it would appear that his has two as does our older van.
What's going on here then?

Yes, but your van has the rear long grab handle (towel rail) and the three light cluster which distinguishes it as being a newer model..

Mine has 3 because it's obviously built to a "higher standard" no idea other than to secure expanse of window

Well-spotted, Roger!

Clearly, the two handle window is best.

PS. I've just compared Agger's pictures with mine in the Herzim strip thread and apart from the two front windows which appear identical on both vans, the Aggervan has narrower window surrounds than the Caldervan's which are squarer at the corners. This would suggest that the later windows are less rigid than the earlier ones (cheaper to produce?) but require an additional handle to secure them.

Since moving production back to Germany, build standards have been returned to there usual high German specification (obviously tic)

Your windows also have the aloooooooominium strip above, whereas mine does not.

Sorry, you're quite right squire. You can just make out the third one at the gap in the curtain. Interesting as your window looks smaller than the norm although perhaps that's because your van is 200mm wider.
