I'm a first-time owner of a 2000 peugeot autosleeper symbol and the small offside opening window has cracked from the catch upwards.

Is there any way of stopping the crack from extending or is it possible to buy a replacement window?

I would appreciate any help or recommendations to solving this please.

Thanks

To stop the crack propagating, drill a small hole in the end. Can't help with the replacement.

Thanks Peter, that's what I thought, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can source a replacement.

You'll find a list of breakers in the Factsheets section (home page about half way down).

Gorilla crystal clear tape is goog for sealing cracks and roof paint blemishes
The top side windows have been a subject many time see Search facility
If in doubt always also try the Search

Additionally and previously suggested on this forum: Captain Tolley's creeping crack cure. It traces and seals leaks caused by hairline cracks and dries transparent and flexible.

One further option is that there was a previous thread here about replacing with a single-glazed pane. When you think about it, a double-glazed acrylic panel is pretty pointless in such a small window. I ~think~ the previous owner replaced with glass, but it may also (depending on the make of the original) be simpler just to use a single thickness of clear acrylic sheet.

Thanks MelB, I'll give this a try and see how it goes, even if it only gives a temporary fix before I find a replacement.

As MelB says, Captain Tolleys creeping crack cure works well on all plastic and GRP
