I presume you're talking about the curved inserted windows. I've just had them replaced on my sunliner. Lingell, at Meadowbank - 9600 9999 - a plastic moulding company did them for me. They have suitable moulds. I received this contact from another member (not sure if it was Reddo, or the member in western sydney, sorry about this). Whatever, would recommend them - they ramp up the original in thickness, but this just helps stop water ingress.
Hope it works out

The bloke your thinking of is "Spyder". Nice bloke and a real character. He owns the Sunliner with the kookaburras painted on the side of it   . Regards Reddo |

Thanks Reddo.
To the original poster: Would also recommend that you think about waterproofing. The windows never fit properly. I would recommend ordinary timber window putty, which was used originally in the sunliner's assembly - its cheap, effective, and easy to clean up. Also, be aware that each sunliner may have slightly different window sizes (it was the 60's), so there doesn't seem to be 'standard' windows. The rubber trim is a dog to get in - a lot of patience and three sets of hands helps. Otherwise, it may be worthwhile to pay an experienced window inserter, but be prepared for the 'trimming' to suit. There's a supplier of antique window rubbers at St Mary's, western sydney, from whom you could probably get the rubbers for the surround.
Don't use acrylic to waterproof the windows; and think hard about silicone before you use it.
Hope that it goes well. Let me know of your progress. We could share tales of woe, misadventure, mistake, and the occasional success. Still, my partner and I are off to Laurieton this easter in Doris, not yet fully restored but sufficiently road worthy to accommodate us for a weekend (all going well)
