Mitsubishi Delica L400 production commenced in 1994 -- After much anticipation, the L400 arrived on Canadian Soil in 2009!

Crystal-Lite-Roof broken

Post by paco »

Hello everybody,
We are a German couple driving the Panamericana, bought our little Deli in Vancouver B.C. and at the moment we are in Colombia, just before the boarder of Ecuador.
We were driving the road from Mocoa to Sibundoy, which is a bad dirtroad but with a beautifull scenery!
So as we bumped over the road, our roofrack moved and broke our left Crystal-Lite-Roof :o
We have a giant hole in our roof now and it is very cloudy and rainy here...
Now, has anybody any idea where we can get a new window as soon as possible, cause in Colombia there are no Delica L400 and neither in Ecuador as far as i know. Has anybody any suggestion what to do and who to contact. And if i order a new Crystal-Lite is there anything i have to look out for, do i also need to order the seeling-rubber or anything else????
Our beloved Delica is a L400 Super Exceed.
For any quick help we are reeeeaallyyy thankfull!!

All the best from Colombia

A temporary fix would be get a piece of sheet metal and have a local shop bend/cut to the same shape and bond it in place with exterior silcone or latex caulking.
Yeah I joined the Dark Side because the medical plan is top shelf!

Obvious thing, and I don't mean to insinuate that you aren't aware of these things, I just know it's the sort of thing that would slip my mind while desperately trying to find a part.
Make sure you're getting the right window for the right spot. SWB and LWB have different length Crystal-Lite windows in the rear, and obviously left and right are different, so just be careful when you're ordering. Nothing worse than having the success of finding it, only to have it arrive and be the wrong one...

Best of luck!

Even a cut sheet of plywood would do the job but ys you aren't likely to get a window anytime soon down there.
