Our Story – How Explore Glazing Was Born
Explore Glazing was founded out of a love for off-road vehicles and a frustration with factory-fitted windows. What began with a custom gullwing window for a Land Rover Defender — designed to match OEM dimensions exactly — has grown into a trusted European brand for high-quality window solutions. Our products are engineered for precise fit, even across different model years of the same vehicle.
Why We Built Our Own Gullwing Window
It all started with a Land Rover Defender and a practical need. We wanted more functionality, easier access to gear, and something that could handle real off-road use. The available options at the time? Not even close.
So we used our background in professional vehicle construction to develop a gullwing window that truly met the demands — designed for daily use in harsh conditions.
And it worked. Really well.
Interest grew quickly. First from friends, then from people we’d never met.
We’ve manufactured every window in-house ever since — improving our designs and processes with every generation.
From One Window to a Full 4x4 Line-Up
Explore Glazing was never meant to be a business. But as more 4x4 owners discovered what we were building, the demand grew — and so did we. Today, we design and manufacture gullwing and sliding windows for some of the most iconic off-road vehicles, from Defenders to Jimnys to Land Cruisers.
Every product is built with the same mindset: precise fit, clean design, and durability that holds up in the real world.
