so you have a '85 westy..and your drivers side slider window is broken?
the westy slider windows on the drivers side fit '80-'91.. they are easy
to find. i have several of them from parted out aircooled vanagon westys.
its the PASSENGER side '85-'91 westy slider that is hard to find.
why not replace yours with the correct westy slider window?? i dont
understand..
anyway.. yes a 50-50 passenger van sliding window will fit in there..
but you cant use your westy screen. i have tons of those windows. i
think goWe$ty or busdepot may offer some kind of aftermarket screen for
passenger van windows.. im not sure.. or like jim A. said, you could just do
what ASI/Riviera and Country Homes Campers did..and screw a metal framed
screen to the outside of the window......

85 Westy full camper.
I would like thoughts on replacing the driver's side 70/30 window (the
sliding part broke) with a 50/50. Someone sold me a bus window (y'all
helped me figure out what it was, actually) as a Vanagon window, then
stopped returning emails.
I happen to have found someone locally who could swap me straight
across--he needs the bus window, and he has a 50/50 split vanagon window.
I understand that the stock screen won't work on it. Anyone have or know
of a fix for that?
Someone in a previous thread suggested eurocampers.com, but the only
vanagon screen I see there is the replacement for the stock one:
