Not to mention that in 85 the size of the slider windows changes.� So no...not a direct swap for all windows.

Peter,

I don't think this is going to work.
Let me explain.
The 80 to 86 Vanagons had chrome trim around the two front door windows
and also fake chrome inserts in all of the other window seals. The seals
are made to allow for the chrome trim on the front doors.� The 91 never
had this trim and it is not easy to retrofit.� Even if you could I am
not sure why you would want to.� The early seals are becoming obsolete
while the stock seals for the 91 are all still available.� Let me know
if I can help you with anything.

Thanks,
