Lada Niva - gullwing window glass

Lada Niva - gullwing window glass

Fitted in place of the factory side window, the gullwing version opens upwards to give direct access to tools, gear or supplies stored behind the seats.

The frame follows the vehicle’s original profile and mounts cleanly using the existing rubber seal. No drilling or permanent modifications are required. Often referred to as a side access panel, this solution is especially useful for overlanding, fieldwork, or practical everyday use — while maintaining the original look of the vehicle.
