I'm planning on installing a Fiberine Super Camper Top in the near future. smugdoug did a similar install here:

My dilemma involves window selection for the top. My ideal solution is a Dometic/Seitz S4 window which appear to be used in EarthRoamers and many european campers. They are also in the body of this van:

I like the awning style of this window which seems better suited to the rainy pacific northwest. The built in blinds and screens are a nice touch as well.
Based on web searches, the S4 is available in a 1200x300mm, which I think would fit in the side of the fiberglass top.
I dislike the horizontal sliders for a couple reasons:
1. My previous dodge van developed leaks around the sliders.
2. My local converter, Van Specialties, will no longer install horizontal sliders in tops, as they have been unable to guarantee a water tight build.
So I'm here on the forum to ask a couple questions:
1. Has anybody had any luck sourcing S4 windows in the United States?
2. What are your real world experiences with horizontal sliders in fiberglass tops? Leaks, performance, likes, dislikes, etc?
3. Opinions on the subject are also welcome.
Thanks.
