Our product lead times are currently 3-4 weeks | Order by December 3rd for Guaranteed Christmas Delivery
The Window Pods Panel creates a truly professional look for the VW T5 and T6 and will allow you to save time, materials and installation costs. As with Window Pods, the panels can be supplied naked or carpeted. The top half of the panel, which includes the Window Pod® forming and the blind, is installed in the same manner as a standard Window Pod®. The lower half of the panel is to be fixed through the finish of the carpet using our installation guide.
Please note Window Pod® Panels are currently only available for VW at present. Panels are also not available in the Spectrum range.
We manufacture our own splashbacks, and we can also offer a Window Pod or blind only (without frame) to be secured to the back of your existing splashback. This will be difficult to add to a splashback which is already installed in a vehicle!
As our splashbacks are sold by default in one size, they will need resizing to fit your vehicle. Whether you have an aluminium composite or acrylic splashback, they can be cut with a jigsaw and straight edge. We recommend using masking tape where you are cutting to avoid scratching and chipping.
As Evo kitchens are normally of a higher worktop height than most units. This can have an impact on a Window Pod for a sliding window behind the driver. We recommend using a splashback with an Evo kitchen.
As Window Pods are fitted with self-drilling screws, there will be holes in the steel bodywork of the vehicle, these are however all hidden by the product and are nowhere near any glass, electrics, or locks.
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.
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.
