 72 Westy) that can fit over the sliding window on the 89 Westy?
 
 Also: is there a retrofit window that can fit in the rear side windows to
 be able to open them, like the side swing window on the 72 Westy?

I know a guy named Ron Maxon who has an show cond. '83.5 Westy (Ron, are you
on the list??) and took a set of Jalosie windows from a Baywindow and framed
them out w/ aluminum to match the bigger Vanagon window opening. I did a
doubletake the first time I saw them. I thought it was a factory option it
was so professionally done!!!

I'll see if I can get his number. He's the guy who's putting on the LiMBO
sponsored "Westies in the Woods" campout next month near the Jersey shore. If
you get LiMBO, his ad is on the back page.
