I have that same response. How much work is needed to convert sliders to  fit
the rear side window location?

And on the rear window fixed vent issue. I have an 83 Westy with no "vents"
in the rear windows. The pop top kind of burps when I close any door--that is
as  long as all the windows are closed and it's the last door to be shut. It
is  obviously at least somewhat air tight so the compression of the air when
the  last door is shut makes the pop top give ever so slightly, but absolutally
noticeably, to release the air--or try to release the air.

Is there anywhere for the air to escape on a Westy with the non-vented rear
side windows of the earlier style? Is this pop top burp normal?

Best,
Jeff
