Published by VWD on Sep 12th 2025
How the SL119-AW and SR119-AW Awning Van Windows Are Raising the Bar for Innovation, Design, and Performance in Sprinter Window Upgrades
If you’ve been hunting for van window upgrades that combine sleek style, factory-fit precision, and real-world performance, your search ends here. Van Windows Direct is proud to introduce two game-changers: the SL119-AW (driver side rear cargo door) and SR119-AW (passenger side rear cargo door) Premium Awning Van Windows. With cutting-edge engineering and design integrity that stands head-and-shoulders above the rest, these windows are built for van lifers, road warriors, and anyone who demands more—not just good looks, but function, durability, and comfort.
What Makes the SL119-AW & SR119-AW Stand Out
Here’s what separates these new awning windows from the competition:
Feature | Why It Matters | How It’s Built In |
---|---|---|
All-Glass, Factory-Style Exterior | Maintains van aesthetics for a seamless, premium look—no bulky frames that disrupt lines. | Sleek, frameless glass panels that match your Sprinter’s body lines perfectly. |
Enhanced Security & Reinforced Frame | Peace of mind when parked, secure features while on the go. | Upgraded locking mechanisms + reinforced structural frame. |
Awning Ventilation for Airflow Even in Light Rain | Keep fresh air flowing, reduce condensation, improve comfort without sacrificing protection. | Piston-driven awning glass that tilts outward—even during damp conditions. |
Premium Shocks & Smooth Operation | Frees you from sticking, squeaking, or difficulty opening heavy glass. | Heavy-duty shock system easing open/close. |
Integrated Screen & UV Shade | Keeps bugs out, sun down, privacy up—makes van life livable. | Retractable insect screen + pleated shade, paired with 17% solar privacy glass (blocks ~83% UV) to reduce heat & fading. |
Clean Interior Finish & Direct-Fit Design | Saves you time and results in professional aesthetic inside & out. | Fully framed interior, matching door placement (driver or passenger rear cargo), fits high roof & low roof Sprinters. |

Why Design Innovation & Integrity are Our Guiding Principles
At Van Windows Direct, innovation isn't just about throwing new features into the mix—it’s about improving what van owners truly need: airflow, security, style, and ease of installation. When we say integrity, we mean rigorous testing, precise engineering, honest specs (what you see is what you get), and support that doesn’t quit. The SL119-AW and SR119-AW windows were designed with feedback from van lifers, built to endure the road, and laser-focused on performance in real conditions.
Who These Windows are For
-
Van lifers craving more ventilation without sacrificing dryness (yes, even when it rains)
-
Builders wanting factory-fit style + modern upgrades
-
Sprinter campers & conversion vans needing more light, airflow, and privacy
-
Anyone upgrading from older windows that leaks, rattles, or just feel dated
Installation Tips & Considerations
-
These windows are direct-fit for Sprinter rear cargo doors—driver side / passenger side models. That means simpler installation, cleaner finish, less modification.
-
Plan around interior trim, wall paneling. The fully framed interior helps, but you'll want to measure carefully.
-
Check compatibility with any exterior racks or accessories mounted on the rear doors—they might interfere.
-
Use proper urethane, moldings, securing tape, or other accessories if you’re going for a truly clean, sealed job. These are available as add-ons.
Comparisons & Why These Outshine Alternatives
Alternative Type | Typical Weaknesses | Why the SL119-AW / SR119-AW Do Better |
---|---|---|
Older fixed glass or sliding windows | Poor ventilation, leaky seals, less airflow, often bulky framed look | Awning design + upgraded shocks + screen lets you ventilate even in wet weather; cleaner exterior lines |
Cheaper “off brand” awning windows | May lack strong seals, durable hardware, UV protection, screen/shade combos | These include reinforced frame, solar-privacy glass, shade/screen integration, quality locking hardware |
Overly complex systems | Too many moving parts, heavy, hard to maintain | These windows balance features with simplicity: high quality mechanisms, tested components, aesthetic design |
