The CRL Vertical Lift Window features dark solar privacy glass. The Window is framed in black powder-coated aluminum. The lower panel slides up, allowing ample ventilation, and the built-in screens keep bugs and debris out. 

This Window has become extremely popular on the Sprinter Van, Transit Van, and ProMaster Vans for the Rear Cargo Doors as the 17-15/16" x 21-9/16" size fits the doors and allows for a ventilated window to be installed where all the custom options are solid glass. 

As always, check the sizes below with universal windows to ensure they will work for your van and the position you want it to be installed.

You will need to create a template to cut your window hole. The easiest way is to use the cardboard box it came with and lay up a vertical window on its glass side (outside). Or use the trim ring utilizing the inner opening that matches the aluminum frame edge of the Window to draw out the template. When drawing a template for Van, if two people are great, one can hold it while the other draws it out. If you install solo, once you know the spot you will be placing the Window, you can screw the cardboard into the side wall to hold it in place, then draw your pattern. 

 

Cut out your hole with your tool, reciprocating saw, sheers, disc, etc.

The CRL Window utilizes a trim ring (clamp ring) installation. Before putting the Window on the van, it's best to go through and make a small pilot hole in all the locations around the trim ring. That way, you do not get around the heads of the screws when tightening the Window. 

Tape your window installation foam on the backside of your Window's aluminum frame so it will get sandwiched between the edge of the Window and the body of your van.

Put the Window in place from the outside of the Van, allowing the aluminum mounting frame to extend through a hole in the wall. Place the clamp ring from the inside. Most vans will have the split on the bottom. With one person holding the Window in place on the outside, the other can start the screws from the inside generally, beginning with the two at the split in the trim ring to have that lined up, then top and around. You do not want to tighten once all screws are in place entirely; you can then go back around and pull them. Be sure to tighten evenly around for proper seal.
