4.1 Cut-outs in the side wall

At the box-type delivery van/station wagon, attachment and base group form a self-supporting unit. Supporting parts of this self-supporting unit must not be removed without being replaced by another component.

Baffles have no supporting function. Modifications, even the complete removal, are permitted.

A. Cut-outs in the side wall


Since the subsequent installation of windows is complicated and expensive, it is recommended to order the desired windows ex works (see delivery program).

Cut-outs for windows, doors, tailboards, ventilation, etc., may only be realised between the supporting parts (pillars, roof chassis and floor). Supporting parts must not be cut or weakened. The cut-outs are to be provided with a continuous frame which is to be connected force-locking with the bordering supporting parts.


Retrofitting of windows

If windows are to be retrofitted, the following operation method can be implemented:

1. Cut out the exterior plate along the window case of the interior plate and insert, for example, a pane with the corresponding rubber seal (accessory parts). The serial differences between box-type delivery van and station wagon in the window area are represented below.

2. Prepare the window cut-out according to the series requirements. Insertion of standard panes. Details on the procedure are available on request.

3. If you desire smaller windows than shown below, the following applies: In general, the cut-out may only be realised between the pillars. Supporting parts must not be cut or weakened. The cut-out is to be provided with a frame which is to be connected force-locking with the bordering supporting parts.
