Jalousies and Sliders

by Karl von Salzen

Westy vanagon sliders are the same size as pass vanagons, except the latch is 14 1/2" back from the corner so you can have a screen mounted and be able to open the window. The fixed glass is shorter and the movable glass is longer. I can give you these measurements too, if you want them:)

The only bay sliders I have seen with screens in them are the ASI Riviera sliders. They were made in the USA and are very tough to find. Expensive when you do find them.

There was an aftermarket screen that was bolted to the outside of the slider frame. The screws went thru the screen frame, thru the rubber seal, and into the body. I have only found 2 pairs of these in the past 5 - 6 years. I gave one pair to Charlie Ford for his bus, Mothership, when he was on his 'search for the wind' trip a few years back. He may still have them on his bus.... if he still has it

Whoa, wait, no way will bay Westy jalousie windows fit in any Vanagon.
