Cheers Baz, yeah its a 70 South African import, with regards to windows, are all bay windows, whether factory or converted panel van the same glass? I understand its different seals etc, but is the actual glass the same? Just trying to see for sure if stumps stuff above is right. Tbh I've no idea what I'm looking at. And is it supposed to be flat or curved?

You need the curved stuff to match the curved side of the van then use the converted panel rubber wit the spreader strip.
Vans with factorywindows have the glass recessed in from the curve of the body and so use flat glass.flat glass will go into the panel but won't as well as the curved glass.

I am looking for a middle and 2 rear curved glass if anyone has any lying around.
