Windoor or Sliding windows

[austintaco]

It looks like I will be a flippac owner in the next few weeks, but I wanted to hear opinions about windoors or sliding windows.

The flippac I am purchasing has sliding vented windows on both sides. If I can have Windoors with or without a vented portion put in, I am thinking of going that route.
My dilemna: My current sliders on my current shell leak. They leak at the weather stripping flap that the glass slides across. I think this piece can be replaced, but I don't want to run into the same problem on the flippac if its a hard to find piece.

Do all sliding windows start to leak over time and the weather flap just needs to be replaced?

Should I just get solid windoors, if I can, and not worry about it?

Just looking for opinions on the matter. Thanks!

Windoors, 100%.

Talk to the guys at AT about what leaks the least, I am sure they have it figured out.

Yeah that^^^^

I've read and participated on discussions about windoors here on EP. I love mine. On the past couple trips I've used both sides repeatedly and with my new build out in the back and developing a system of how I load it when traveling having the windoors on both sides just makes sense.

Update:
I am having one windoor put in on the passenger side. Windoors with a screened slider were not available in the size for the flippac I am buying, so I opted to leave one of the screened sliders in. We do a fair amount of dog rescue and its not uncommon to have either one of our dogs or a rescue dog in the back.
Additionally, I read somewhere that leaving the window open with the slider and screen is a great way to air out the flippac if you had to pack it up while it was moist.

One is better than none!
