Hello all,

First post (of many), purchased a CI Sprite 1980s. Alpine 2 for £150.

Windows are wrecked.

Struggling to replace on a budget.

Has anyone changed from open window to closed - front and back?

If so, any links on how this can be done.

Thanks

glass or plastic windows? plastic ones can normally be found at breakers to match the size or on ebay, glass ones can have the glass replaced if you take the frame to a glazier

Is there any particular reason why you want them fixed closed? It can get very hot in a caravan and opening windows can be essential.

I too work to a very tight budget and I find caravan breakers very useful.
