fitting a side and REAR WINDOWS in a VAUXHALL VIVARO - Van build window installation

- In this video it was a scary moment, I was fitting a side and rear windows in a vauxhall vivaro, so in essence this video is a Van build window installation.
Vivaro side window installation is not a really a bad job, the template is pretty much there from the inside, but still a scary moment doing this to my self built camper
After this, it was time for the vivaro rear window installation - which again wasn't that bad as the template is there from the inside.
All in all, the Vivaro window installation took 5 hours + curing time for the rear windows.
Fitting a side and rear windows in a vivaro has never been considered a job i would undertake, but the whole process was quite straight forward. I also treated the cut areas with silver Hammerite paint.
I purchased the windows from a company on eBay, called Trade glass UK, it came with all the necessary parts for completing the job, including the "U" trim for putting around the panel, once cut.
Hope you enjoy the video
Dave xx

Hi dear Dave.
I got new sub from Azerbaijani Camper.
Glad to see you back.
@@FarmanOutdoors much appreciated sir, thank you 🙏🙏
@@DaveOutdoors you are welcome 🏕
That company - Trade Glass UK - excellent pre-sales service/info. And the price for a full kit x 2 of sliding windows in sliding doors - no brainer.
Awesome buddy awesome…van looks Amazing .. all the best cheers Chris & Sam
Thank you sir, much appreciated 🙏 hope you guys are well
@@DaveOutdoors yes we are great Dave thanks .. cheers buddy cheers Chris & Sam
Love that the van has already been out on an adventure! ☕👍❤
Oh yes, it was a great nights sleep as well 😜 it will be getting used between builds as well.
And breath! good stuff👍
It was certainly a sign of relief at the end 😂😂
That's really cool and interesting vidz my friend. You got my attention and great passion on making vidz. Keep it up and more vidz to come my friend. Stay safe and healthy always my friend. More Blessings to you my friend. Wishing you all the best and happy life always.
Appreciated 🙏 thanks so much 🙏
Proper job, well done Dave and co! Really tidy, onwards! Catch you soon, unclench, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🧭
Thank you both, they are now unclenched 😜🤣
Mate.....you made that look so easy 😂 I'm doing mine in a few weeks and Im shitting myself
I was also bricking it 🤣🤣 you'll be fine, just follow the template from inside and jigsaw out.
💯 Best of luck 👍
@@DaveOutdoors cheers mate, where did you get your rear windows from? They look really good. I want them
Looking forward to see this van in progress. Our new conversion should be ready in a few months.
Cheers buddy, much appreciated. Its come on hell of alot since this video, hope to make a video soon on the progress 👍👍
Mum and dad are becoming Internet sensations 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Mum did a sterling effort with the camera, I'll give her that 🤣🤣🤣
Well done mate. Coming together nicely
Thanks Chris, it's come on leaps and bounds since this video, infact it's not far off being done, I will update with a video this weekend 👍👍
Yikes, the hole cutting looks pretty tense! 🤐😳👍😬
That was the most scariest part, putting that initial hole through the body 🤣🤣
Aww Izzy - what a fab young lady. Hope to see her doing more on your van build Dave xo
If she behaves she can 😁
Awesome! Great to see the little one getting involved too 😎
Thank you hannah, hope you're keeping well and getting out 😊
Nice one mate 👍 those windows have completely changed the look of that van!
Thanks brendan, it has certainly changed the look of it. Hope you're well bud 👍
Loved that Dave' great job'.....makes the van look so different .....and relax 😄👍
Stevey boy 🤙🤙 top man, cheers fella, certainly has transformed the look. Chuffed to bits with it 👍👍
Came out nicely. Nice video. You have a wonderful upcoming week, take care
Much appreciated chap. ATB 👍
Great job guys🥰
Thank you so much, a twitchy moment, but we got there 🙏☺️
Woop woop. Get in mate. Looking epic Mon.
ATB Adam 🤜💙🤛
Cheers Adam, appreciated sir. Hope you're well 👍
Mint job fella
Thanks nigel, appreciated sir 🙏
Oooooh the rear one was a neat job! 👌 great work on 🤩👍
Thank you kind sir, I was pleased with how it all turned out. ❤️
Nice work on the windows very smart. And no longer looks like a mobile sauna inside!🤣
Cheers Rowdy, the sauna look made it unique, but not my type of unique 🤣🤣
Great job Dave and wonderful to see your project taking shape. ❤
Thsnk you so much Arielle 🍻👍
And relax..... Great job there pal. You're a braver man than me to tackle that. Good to see it's a team Roberts effort as well. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the conversion. ATB Andy
Sigh of relief buddy, pretty straight forward job, but daunting drilling several holes in the side... But, its all done, and it doesn't leak 🙏🙏🙏 water tested today as well...
scary stuff Dave nice one dude looks awesome 👌atb daz
Thanks daz, appreciated pal... Got there in the end 😁
Nicely done, sir. Those stick-on windows make life so much easier. As long as you don't cut a hole that's bigger than the glass, you can't go wrong. I hired a pro to fit the old type with rubber seals - they have to be mm perfect and I didn't fancy it. I did two roof hatches - a Fiamma 40cm and a Fiamma 50 cm. They didn't leak so I was chuffed at that.
I have seen recommendations to use/hire a nibbler to cut out the panels. My pro fitter did. Jigsaws and - much more so - a/grinders produce a loadd of steel filings which are difficult to totlly clean out and they rust. I was surprised you went for one side window and two in the back doors.
Hey, thanks so much for the comment, I've recently just sold this van and got myself another, I've jist fitted windows all round, and that video should be getting released on Sunday.
Great to see the van coming on Dave. I hope your not going to give up rough night wild camping. For a cosy night tramping. 🤣. Keep up the great work pal. 👍
Hi Michael, no mate, I'll still be out in the tent at some point, freezing my tits off, or even getting battered by the rain. I mean..... Who would want a warm van anyway 🤣🤣
Great job Dave, I've got 2 sliding windows to fit on my vivaro, got the glass from same company brilliant service
Hey best of luck fitting the windows, I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine. Just follow the contour. My recent video I have just fitted Windows to my new van, which is pretty much the same process.
Great work Dave. Your hard work & efforts will pay off. Enjoy the project! xx
Thanks Rach, I'm hoping it will 🤞🤞 thank you so much for watching ☺️
He who dares .
Looking good Dave. Are you working to a plan.
Stay safe 🔥
He who dares, clenched his cheeks tight 😂🤣
Hey Ken, hope you're well chap, no plan as such.... Yet. I need to lay out some plans, and think where I want lighting/sockets/charging points yet.
Enjoyed this one. The van is coming along nicely.
Thanks so much, I am chuffed with how it came out.
Wow, looks amazing already
Thank you 😊😊 hope you're well
Great job there Dave, all coming together now 👍🏻
Cheers Russ, slowly but surely pal 👍👍
Top job 👏🦡
Thank you kind sir 🙏👍
Well done looks a great job.
Cheers Gus. Appreciate it sir 👍🙏🙏
Job well done its made a great difference to the van.
Hey hey, thank you, it sure has changed the way it looks, I'm chuffed to bits with it. Hope you guys are well 👍👍
Nice work matey I only put 1 window in mine Arse couldn’t take anymore lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Officially unclenched now Trev, must join up for a van camp if Gord and rich are up for it.
@@DaveOutdoors most definitely 👍👍
@@NorthwalesBushcrafters ill get it somewhat near liveable mate and I'll try and sort setting out.
@@DaveOutdoors tidy look forward to that just had to do a bit to mine to get it through MOT so be raring to go 😃
@@NorthwalesBushcrafters excellent matwy, probably use your knowledge of wales if you know of anywhere buddy
Great stuff, when are you fitting those red racing seats?
They will go in very soon, kirkey ultralight weight seats to be honest 😬😬
Not sure I can watch any more of these. I wanted my own van by the end of it.
I’ll leave you a like for the choice of pot noodle flavour. Other than that I dislike how much you might cost me with this series.
Cheers Chris, certainly reforms the layout and style from a visual perspective. Chuffed to bits with how it turned it.
Maybe you should look at getting a van, and coming on a road trip with us this year 😁
Looking good Dave. Did you have camera problems as picture was breaking up.
Hiya chap, I don't think so pal, I've watched it back and seems OK?
Just checked it must be poor WiFi signal. It's clear now.
@@Alsdiscovery2 phew 😂😂
Great stuff...was there a template supplied for marking out where to cut?
Hi George. No template supplied, it's just a case of drilling several holes 2 inches apart all around the inner metal frame from inside as I showed. 👍 hope this helps
@@DaveOutdoors Got you...looks like I'll be tackling the same (just the side door) job as requested by my good lady. But my argument is, 'why do you want to put up curtains' 🙂
@@GeorgeMcKnight 🤣 you'll have curtains and cushions in there in no time now 🤣🤣
1st ☕ ❤
Legend as always sir ❤️
