A practical ventilation upgrade
Opening rear windows for working taxis.
Rear-cabin ventilation matters in taxis, private-hire vehicles and passenger-carrying Vitos. Where the rear air-conditioning is ineffective, unreliable or does not provide enough airflow, opening side windows offer passengers a direct source of fresh air.
We remove the appropriate fixed side glass and install purpose-made sliding window units. A conversion can be discussed for one side or both sides, subject to the vehicle and suitable units being available.
- ✓ Improved passenger airflow
- ✓ Useful for working vehicles
- ✓ Single-window conversions
- ✓ Matching pairs where available
Professional conversion
From fixed glass to an opening unit.
We identify the correct window before removing the original bonded glass.
Remove fixed glass
The original fixed window is carefully removed and the aperture prepared for the replacement unit.
Install and check
The sliding window is bonded into place and checked for alignment, sealing and correct operation.
This conversion provides an alternative source of fresh-air ventilation; it does not repair or replace the vehicle’s air-conditioning system. Taxi operators should confirm any licensing, insurance and vehicle-modification requirements that apply.
Frequently asked questions
Useful things to know.
Is the conversion only for taxis?
No. It may also suit private-hire vehicles, minibuses, camper conversions and compatible private Mercedes Vitos.
Can you fit only one sliding window?
Yes, where a suitable unit is available. We can also discuss fitting a matching pair.
Can the fixed glass always be removed intact?
No. We work carefully, but glass condition, bonding, previous work and hidden damage can affect removal.
Does this repair the rear air-conditioning?
No. It provides fresh-air ventilation and does not repair the air-conditioning system.
What do you need for a quote?
