SikaTack Pro window adhesive kit

This kit has everything you need to prepare surfaces and attach your bonded windows. The primer bottle has enough for about 4 or 5 windows but the tube of glue was just enough to do one window of dimensions 1360mm x 665mm.

Sikaflex 521 UV

For the bathroom window we used a wooden frame on the inside of the van to screw the body of the window to. For the outside though we used an adhesive sealant to stick the outer frame to the body of the van and ensure a lasting wate-tight seal.

Edge Trim

This is used to cover the edges of the hole you cut to insert the window in order to give a nice even finish.

Glass Suction Cups

Even with these the job was tricky because the windows are really heavy. You need to be able to attach the window to the side of the van without disturbing the adhesive, then readjust it to get the perfect fit with the lines and contours of the van. I’m not sure if you can even do the job without these, so I highly recommend investing in a pair.
