Our lead times vary from time to time. This is because all of our products are hand-built to order and production times can sometimes fluctuate. Please keep an eye on the red banner at the top of our website, which will give you an indication of current lead times.
All Window Pods will now feature our new Vanshades X Blind System – find out more here.
Window Pods ordered after 23/09/24 will have the new X System blind, if you are looking to match our previous blind system please contact us.
Our product lead times are currently 3-4 weeks | Order by December 3rd for Guaranteed Christmas Delivery
Window Pods® are designed to fit to the steel window recess of the vehicle. Window Pods® are therefore not compatible with any plastic trim present around the window (e.g. Tourneo Custom). If you are unsure if this applies to your vehicle, please get in touch via email or phone before placing your order.
Maintain a stylish interior whilst improving privacy in your camper with the Vanshades Window Pod® H. The Window Pod® H fits the rear quarter fixed window on the nearside of the short wheelbase variants of the Ford Transit Custom.
*Please be advised Spectrum RAL colours may not be true to real colours due to screen settings. It’s strongly recommended using the K7 Classic RAL colour swatches to match to your preference in person.
Please be advised our Window Pods are made from recycled ABS plastic, when ordering ‘Naked’ the Pods can be subject to some minor blemishes. The ‘Naked’ option is available for customers or convertors who wish to carpet the Pods themselves.

Vanshades X Blind System
All Window Pods will now feature our newly developed X System, a specially designed blind solution that improves functionality and durability.
New Blind System Features:
Cellular Thermal/Blackout Features
The foil lined cellular pleated structure of our thermal blinds have been created to give a modern sleek look. The cellular design holds a layer of air which acts as an insulator, retaining heat in the winter and keeping your vehicle cool in the summer.
No, Window Pods have been designed with this in mind. The tailgate Window Pods® have a motor housing cover built in to cover the wiper motor.
The blinds in Window Pods can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
We currently manufacture Window Pods® for the VW T5/T6 and Ford Transit Custom (2013+). The pods are designed & precision engineered at our dedicated facility in South Yorkshire.
You must have a VW factory sliding glass. Prior to fitting Window Pods®, you must remove the plastic trim cover on the top bar of the sliding window for the Window Pod to sit correctly. This is covered in our fitting guide provided with every order.
Window Pods are a pre-assembled blind and frame system which offers stylish privacy for all windows of your camper van. They're designed to be as easy as possible to fit directly into your camper interior, using just a few tools. Check out our 3-minute video installation tutorial.
If you have an aftermarket copy of the VW OEM Kombi sliding windows (flush glass from outside of vehicle), our product for the VW OEM windows should still fit, it is best to check with our sales team if you have any concerns regarding the style of your windows.

Unfortunately not, any vehicle with an interior plastic trim around the windows is not suitable for Window Pods. They must be fitted to the steel body of the vehicle; this can however be carpeted prior.
We would recommend you speak with your local conversion company who will be able to help you. If not we can always send you a free sample in the post and take things from there.
The design of a Window Pod® starts with the raw data we gather by laser scanning the vehicle. This data allows our designers to understand every curve of the window recess and incorporate this into our designs to ensure a snug fit.
We offer a no quibble warranty on our Window Pods®. Our helpful staff are on hand to resolve customer queries quickly and efficiently. Our 5-star Google and Facebook reviews speak for themselves.
Our manufacturing process includes vacuum forming, CNC machinery and laser cutters, Window Pods® are manufactured by skilled operatives with no compromise to quality and finish.
Window Pods® come complete with all the required fittings and are easily installed in minutes, but don’t take our word for it, check out our how-to guides or visit our YouTube channel to see for yourself.
