Just wondering if it is possible to replace the single glazed bonded rear windows (which came with the van) with double glazed windows? Has anyone done this/had this done??

Hi Jason, haven't done mine, I think it would probably be too much work/expense to make it worthwhile.

On mine I had limo tint applied which makes it look much better from the outside and doesn't affect the interior view out too much.
We have also modified the supplied internal silverscreens and added 3m thin adhesive (I glued mine) magnetic tape around the edges of the screens, they then clip on to the metal window surrounds which I find much easier. I binned the suckers and filled in the holes where the suckers go with grey Sugru.
As long as you put them up before it gets cold and before you put the heating on you shouldn't get any condensation. Instead of removing them completely I just fold them halfway down so you half a view outside during the day.

Thanks for this Pete. I kind of thought that it might be tricky and probably very costly but just wondered if anyone had done it……but this sounds like it could provide a good solution! I have had the rear windows tinted already, but I’ll try modifying the internal screens as you suggest 😊👍
 
Good luck, next stage for me is to cover the interior side of the screens with some coloured stretch lining fabric to make them a bit more pleasing to the eye.
Got the fabric but havent got a round tuit yet 🤔
