don't know if anyone can help but i'm currently seeking a new kitchen window....been out of the country for 3 1/2 weeks and found that some T**T had smashed the window only a couple of hours before we got home!! It is a 1969 13/2 (Brian - is the window a standard size on all models?) don't know whether or not it will be worthwhile to just reglaze or replace? Cheers for any help - sally x

Sorry to hear about your damage. Safari windows seem to be all sorts of different sizes.
I have a couple that have come from the back of Safaris.
Let me know the measurements, but if it is a single glazed window it may be a lot cheaper to get a local glazier to make one to size, rather than transport one of mine from Essex to wherever you are.

Cheers for that Brian, yes it is only single glazed so will try local glass shop.  |

If you are successful with a local shop, perhaps you could let us know the cost - I am sure that other owners of single glazed Safaris would like to know.

Brian, of course, no problem. As soon as the hubby gets round to it will let you know straight away. Regards Sally Hubby finally got motivated today and paid a visit to our local glazier. He's quoted us £26 (supply only) for standard 4mm glass but advises we use 6mm safety glass (sheet glass to you and me as used for shop windows) which unfortunately hubby didn't get a price for. Do you know if it's easy to replace? |

I would think that is cheaper than the carriage cost if I had one the right size.
Be careful to check the thickness of the exisiting glass as it might be difficult to get a thicker glass into the rubber and frame.
I haven't replaced the frame, but I don't think it is particularly difficult.

When replacing glass into the rubbers use washing up liquid it will slide in quite easey hopes this helps
