Mercedes Sprinter SL101 Installation Overview
Installation of the SL101 driver-side forward windows requires removal of a portion of the inner stamped sheet metal on compatible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.
This installation overview applies to:
- SL101-AW – Premium Awning Window
- SL101-CA – Crank-Out Awning Window
- SL101-DS – Double-Sliding Window

- SL101-SE – SE-Series Sliding Window

- Driver Side Forward Position
The general process is:
- Identify and carefully cut the required inner sheet metal from inside the van when possible.
- File and deburr the cut edges to remove any sharp or raised areas.
- Prime or protect all freshly exposed steel.
- Install Trim-Lok edge molding over the finished sheet-metal edge.
- Clean all metal debris from the wall cavity.
- Dry-fit the actual SL101 window and verify complete clearance before applying automotive urethane.
- Urethane-bond the window in place and allow the adhesive to fully cure.
Important: Always verify the actual Sprinter configuration, wheelbase, and exact SL101 window before cutting. The illustrated cut area is for reference only and is not an exact cutting template.
