Wow Adam, HZ Belmont van! Rarer than any Sandman.

I've got a HQ XX7 production broadcast sheet at home that actually shows factory fitted side windows on the sheet itself. Also seen them as dealer fitment, so I wonder if the factory and dealer glass is the same? Or if it like today where you can buy genuine accessories or for less money buy aftermarket via the dealer like ARB, Rhino etc?

I'm confused. Weren't the side windows the same whether it was a Sandman or not? I wasn't aware Sandman windows we're one of a kind... :Chin:

Sold them Sean, should have sold them as genuine Sandman windows though could be rich by now.

So for those beginning to get confused and unable to weed the sarcasm out from the truths, the quote above is the most honest reply on this thread.

the glass in the rear of any van was not model level specific and i question the same as HK, is factory and dealer glass the same, and has anyone got a van with build sheet to prove they have factory / dealer glass.

if, and this is a bit of an assumption, holdens factory fitted the glass then there theoretically should be a part number in a book yes?

I sort of get the feeling that it was a case of factory outsourcing - getting a glazier to fit them which meant that size and shape would depend on where and who did the job. My first Van - A chamois Hj 308 sandie had windows exactly like those on the orange van Absinth posted earlier.

all im putting out there is that (to the best of my knowledge) there isnt anything special about the rear side glass in a pano

As I said I have a production broadcast sheet for a HQ XX7 showing factory side glass. Anything one these sheets is factory fitment. It shows the option code up in the header plus has a Y in the box for FIXED SIDE WINDOWS
