I have only just found your post, a bit late sorry? I discovered the post whilst researching trauma with my windows fitted to my Devon Firefly Transit Custom. The windows leak in heavy rain and probably worse look hideous because they don't fit the van. These are SGI aftermarket windows fitted by Devon from new. As you say they do not match the radius/curvature of the van and look rubbish. Also the drains are blocked and the windows leak inside from the sliding track and there is danger that the door card could be damaged with damp. I have contacted a local to me van converter, I have asked him to quote me to fit genuine Ford sliding windows as replacements the same as fitted to the Tourneo. I note that you say avoid cheap windows and accept these are probably going to cost me in excess of £600 each. I look forward to a solution. Thanx for the great video.
Have you had any problems with condensation on the bottom left of the window? i have noticed that it gathers in the gap between the rubber strip and the glass when i slide a tissue between them it gets soaked with water. Just be aware
I get condensation on all of my windows if I don't have ventilation open at night, but I fitted wind deflectors on the front so I can always have some ventilation whatever the weather

Hi, just wondering.. when you put your window in your transit custom, did you use the glue that was supplied with campers glass?
