d) Opening of side windows
The opening of windows in vans requires the specific precautions and techniques specified below.
•
Cut the plate being careful to maintain a section with a minimum width of:
- 15 mm (in the case of glass fixed with a gasket);
- 20
÷
25 mm (in the case of glass fixed by gluing).
•
Create an internal support structure (see Figure 2.24), in order to ensure the necessary resistance and create the connection
as shown in the figure.
•
Remove the pillar in the window area, providing suitable reinforcement to the base node.

e) Internal shelves
Internal shelves must be created so that they are sufficiently rigid and are self-supporting.
The lower support must concern the floor support structure (longitudinal cross members and sections) and be implemented in order
to distribute the load uniformly.
The anchoring on the side structure, implemented without creating preload effects, may involve:
- the boxed pillars, where drill holes are present;
- the upper connection fixing elements.
