Hi , I need advice from you lovely lot.

I have managed to make a dirty great crack in my back window (don’t ask) so it will need replacing. I am waiting on a dealer get back to me as to whether they have the part but I want your wisdom please.

will ANY window (assuming it is the correct size) do? Does it have to be a specific Bolero window?

I am actually interested in putting a sliding window in the back given the Fiamma box prevents me opening the window as wide as I would like. 

‘Are windows easily removed and replaced? I am not completely useless and have become a dab hand at a lot of things but this is a new one!

Advice, as always, greatly appreciated 😂

    Ouch!  Caravan windows are easy enough to remove but are ridiculously expensive.  There are companies that will make one for you using your damaged window as a template and colour match; sorry I can't remember the names but I'm sure someone here will or just google 'caravan window replacement'.  Ask your dealer to explore other sources for a window rather than Swift.  Not sure about the wisdom of a sliding window though, or if this is possible; you don't see caravans with sliding windows.

    EECO is the company I was thinking about!  There are also some videos to show you how to remove /fit a window if you google as I suggested above.

    Thank you both.

    I have managed to source one from East Sussex at a cost £168. It might not be the right shade of brown but at least it will fit.

    Wish me luck fitting it 😵
