My experience of fitting these windows in a Fiat Ducato 2014.
When I was researching which windows to purchase for my camper conversion, I found these Sliding Cassette Windows from Shield Autocare.
They seemed great value and I liked the description, but I couldn't find any independent information about them. For once ... nothing on KZitem !!!!
Or anywhere else for that matter. So I thought I would make my own review to help out anyone else in the same situation.
Luckily, the company were about a 45 minute drive away from me, so I headed off to their warehouse and had a look at them. I was impressed with the quality, they felt very solid and well constructed.
The windows are supplied with plenty of screws for fixing. I was emailed a word document with fixing instructions. Which were OK but not very clear (or that could be me. I always have trouble following instruction documents)
There seemed to be a couple of minor design flaws with the inner metal frame. The dimensions of which didn't line up with the outer metal frame. Which made fixing tricky and after fitting I could see some of the screw heads? I was using hand tools to fit, so once again that could be me.
Plus the outer metal frame had a circular radius in the corners, the inner metal frame was a 90 degree corner, which looks a little odd.
The large window in the sliding door run's out a fair bit from top to bottom due to the contour on the van door. I did think as I was uploading this video that I could have maybe used smaller wood for the top of the frame but realised the instructions do state 30mm depth is required, so maybe not.
I would have also struggled to cut a gradient on the uprights using hand tools. So all in all, probably as good as I was ever going to get.
Now they are fitted, I am very happy with them. The reasons I mention in the video for purchasing them : being double glazed tempered glass, good locking mechanism, plus integral blinds and fly screen, sturdy construction etc make these a great practical option for the price.
Even with the minor issues mentioned, I am very pleased with my purchases and would use them again.
