Upper windows on '89
Has anyone had to replace one of the front upper windows on an '89 B190? I have an '87 Okanagan (almost the same van) which has very similar windows but one is now broken.

Re: Upper windows on '89
I managed to find the Hehr part number on the window frame, but it's so old that ParKin couldn't provide a new pane for it. So, I cut a substitute from 1/8" thick, black HDPE on a CNC router, and I got new rubber for the gasket from ParKin. The CNC step took a couple tries to get the dimensions just right, and I've posted a drawing of the dimensions I ended up with. I'll add more photos once there's a little less snow on the vehicle.

This is good as it is my next step in my restoration. Anything else anyone might want to add before I start?

Re: Upper windows on '89
Be patient with yourself on the window vinyl. It only goes in by brute force, and not very quickly. On my vehicle, the stuff was available from here: http://www.parkin-acc.com/page53.html It was cross-section #G. If you're replacing a pane, make sure to thoroughly clean out the old window frame before putting in the new butyl sealant. I got good results with acetone.

Brute force, I have. Patience, on the other hand, ....
Thank you.
Thank you.
