I am in the process of installing my windows in the doors and the windows are .165 to .1875 thick and do not fit the window channel. They are almost .04 to .060 to thick. It seems that these should be the same thickness as the rear windows which were .120 to .140. Has anyone else had this issue? If I try to sand down the shelf the window sits on I will sand almost or will go through the external door skin. At this thickness
there would be no good way to blend these into the outer door skins.

Geoff,
Other than smoothing the outer face of the window channel, I would not remove any material trying to make the outer face of the window flush with the door. Most/all of the window edge will stand proud of the door. I think most people have found more variability with the rear windows i.e. in some places the window is proud(high) and in other places the cabin top is proud. Welcome to the world of body working Van's quality fiberglass products to make it all pretty. Flox, micro and hours of sanding will bring it all to the same level(eventually).

I had one window that had the dimensions that you are talking about.... I sent it back to Van's and got a replacement. Next window, no problem.

Thanks for everyone's input.
FYI
I did talk to Scott today at Van's and he gave me the specs for the door windows and mine are way to big. They are sending me some new ones out tomorrow.
Scott said they should be .120 to .150. That was there specifications. The .150 was on the very high side and could be to thick depending on the door frame.
