Overcab (Luton) window snapped off

Malta1

Hi All

Recently sombody (and it wasn't me before you ask), drove off and left the Overcab window open.....they realised it was open when the window snapped off the hinge and fell to the ground :rolleyes:

It has been looked at by the repair guys and they have suggested 2 options 1) replace the window or 2) block the window up all together and put a Decal over the work to ensure that it is not noticable.

Any advice as to which way to go......The window doesn't get a whole lot of use (open/close) and from that point of view, blocking it up might be a better option (nobody can drive off and leave it open again ). There is the "light" factor to consider.....but given that you only sleep up there, is natural light important???

The window in question is at the front of the Overcab which means that it is open to significant wind / rain speeds when driving

All advice appreciated

It's a 2 minute job to fit a new window. If the seal is good and it wasn't leaking before it would be handy to replace it.

There could be a good bit of work involved to block it off and make it look acceptable from the outside. The same will go for the inside. It could look rubbish if its not done properly.

A window could be cheaper and less hassle.

it's always hand to have windows for ventilation

The condition of the wooden frame where the window was would be the deciding factor for me. If all's well, then by all means get another window (properly sealed).
