Gull wing windows open from inside?

[woytovich]

Can any of the available gull wing windows be opened from the inside? Ifnot has anyone figured out a mod to do that?

Hopping on board for the answer.

Mine do on my LJ77.

Latch on the rear most pillar.

I'll take a picture tomorrow, if needed.

Please do... do you know who made them?

Check out ASPW’s troopy build. He’s shown his opening from the inside while he’s camping (errr....overlanding).

ASPW?

 

[woytovich]

Ah.... Andrew..... Do you have a link to that part of his build?

Fast forward to about 5:40. The first bit of the video is an infomercial for some undercoating outfit in South Africa. I think the gullwings are from Explore Glazing in Holland.

And in this video at about 10:45 he mentions that he can open the gullwings from inside, but you'd want to confirm that before buying any windows.

He doesn't say he can open them from the inside... he just says that he can open them. I have one from Explor here and I cannot see how it'll open from the inside. I'm going to contact them to ask.

Maybe something like this... (8:55)

V2 interior door latch/release

So I’ve done a search and the options I’ve found don’t match what I’m looking for. Reaching out to close the back door is not the problem. What I’m looking for is a way to latch and unlatch the doors. I know the rear door has those slides, but you can’t clip the latches closed from the...

Not a Troopy but can report that the Front Runner Outfitters gull wings on my 77 do not open from the inside.

very different mechanism

No it’s not. Try turning your head side ways.

 

[woytovich]

If I was building my own they would open from in and outside.

 

[gilmorneau]

Does anyone make one with latches that could be modified? Just a thought.

Anything CAN be modified. I find it hard to believe that opening from the inside and outside both has not been a thing yet... it can't be that hard, after all car and house doors have been doing it forever.

 

[RevISK]

And anything CAN be opened from the inside, at least once…

While we’re on the subject kinda, does anyone know of a mod to open the rear hatch from the inside?

Wait, how did end up in the 70 series section?
Asking for a 60 series.
