I'm very interested in gull wing windows for the 110. With the load space set up I have, I think it will be a welcomed addition. I have never once driven with the back windows open since I took delivery of this truck so I am not worried about that.
so far I have only come across the Front Runner product. Looks decent, so looking for any feedback on them. Also, am I missing any other manufacturers/? To be clear I am interested in see through windows, not a solid metal panel. https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/u...ender.html |

Watching with interest, looking to add gullwings too. Front runner seem to be the way to go here... |

Be interested to know what is required in terms of permanent alterations required to fit these, is there much drilling or cutting required? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Seems easy. I’m taking myVGS glass off and replacing, so for me, will be easy, as won’t have to remove the old windows |

Four corners need filing apart from that it’s just the dome head M6 fixings and some Sikaflex 221.

I have the gullwing windows from explore glasing and I love them. Much more acces to the rear.
Easy installation, take the old ones out, put the new one in to drill some new holes, get the frame out and put the sikaflex on, install the window and fix the screws. Job done. I have the dark glasing which is also good against the sun heat reflexion. |

The Explore (Dutch ones) look pretty good, and quite a bit cheaper than the FR ones (from memory)...
Voorfrank - how long have you had them fitted? Any issues with rattles or water / dust ingress? |

Thank you Frank. Very interested in these. I like the fact that the glass and aluminium panels are easily interchangeable.
If possible, could you perhaps upload a close-up photo of the window? The ones on the website are too small, and is impossible to see the windows in any meaningful detail. |

Frank - superb! Thanks for posting these - much appreciated!!
The windows look like a top quality product - very impressed. May I ask what colour glass you selected? Your vehicle is the same colour as mine, and the window tint is a great match. When I speak to Explore Glazing, I will make sure to tell them that they owe you a "business development" fee  |
