Hi Sue, I believe that you have already asked this question once but haven't replied to the question I asked.

The question you asked was........ As I am having trouble finding a new window for my Abbey Piper 1400L, I was wondering if anyone has glued a plastic window before? Which glue do you recommend and would some clear silicone sealant on both sides be a good idea after glueing? Am I just being silly/ desperate?

If the caravan was broken in to wouldn't it be better to put it through an insurance claim?

Hi Sue,

I would agree with Lion 123 - I live a couple of miles form the company he mentioned & I know they have hundreds (if not a thousand or so) windows in stock - have seen them!!

Really helpful - they will tell you exactly what to measure, & what info they need in addition to measurements (roxite number comes to mind (relates to the colour)) & will let you know if they have it in stock & send it by courier - no gaping hole in your caravan whilst you wait!!

Even better news, shouldn't cost you anywhere near the £500 mentioned on your other thread!!

Hope that helps

in responce of glueing windows. yes it can be done!!!! how good it looks after is down to you.

i removed the inner perspex by simply snapping it off all the way around and cleaned it up with a very sharpe chisel,to remove any left overs then a quick wipe over with thinnners (very carful ot to spill it anywhee not needed) this was to remove glue.

i then cut a peice of perspex the same size (at some point i had to remove cathes) and used polypipe glue (plenty of it) clamped the new inner to old outer and worked fine took about a week to fully dry and as it did the glue became invisible.

yes on close inspection you can tell its been glued but from 10 ft away its perfect, no leaks no condensation and a hidden crack too
