Actually it is the Jalousies that wont fit, the window on the 
sliding door / behind the fridge is smaller than pre 85 
westies. The sliding window should be OK. Here is the eBay 
search I used, make sure to cut and paste he ENTIRE link:

"Schiebefenster" means sliding window. I actually ran across 
a site that may sell them new (but they are pricey). Here is 
the original post:

A few weeks ago I picked up a sliding window for the drivers 
side rear (near the closet) off of ebay.de.

I had never seen one before so I quickly snapped it up. My 
lament was that I did not have one for the passenger side.

Well, having done some surfing around it appears that they 
are for sale new. I saw "Volkswagen T3,type25 1979-1990 Rear 
slider o/s, n/s" windows for �94.25 at:

I have not contacted the vendor, but what else could it be...

Thanks,
Chris
