NOT IN VIDEO - Pay close attention to the track / channel in the window that these screws are placed in, as understanding this will be a big help towards the end of the install. The beauty clamp ring will come attached to the window with a few screws that will need to be removed to separate the clamp from the window. We did not have any cardboard this big, so used an excess piece of Rmax foam insulation. The first step in the process is to create a cardboard template using the beauty clamp ring of the window. We will call out a few things that were not overt in the video that would have helped us throughout this install.

Radius template - print from motion windows The Installīefore we begin detailing the install, we must say that the installation video noted above is extremely helpful. Jigsaw with a fine metal blade Īngle grinder with a thin metal cutting wheelĤ5'x30' piece of cardboard (used for template) Motion Windows installation video (middle of the page) Tools & Hardware The Motion Windows are made to order in Vancover, WA and take roughly 3 months from the time the order is placed to the time of delivery, so plan ahead. The Motion Window invoice with shipping was $460 vs the C.R. We selected the Motion Windows because we liked the slightly smaller look, the T style lower sliding screen and the price. Laurence (OEM factory style window) or Motion Window (Med-High Transit - 1). When choosing your aftermarket window, there are really only two top options: C.R. The window will allow for great airflow while running the Maxxair fan as well as provide much needed light in the van. I’d recommend it to anyone building out a Transit.Installing a window in the passenger side sliding door of the van was in our plans for the conversion since the beginning. Overall this is a fantastic product that fills a big need. Including two sheet metal screws a bit longer than stock probably wouldn’t kill your bottom line.īut again, these are minor nitpicks. And last, the factory forward screws are so short that, after the bracket is installed, they barely catch- like less than one turn. Second, the template has the forward corners of the shelf left square, but it dug into the headliner so I rounded them off with a belt sander. Not a big deal, I have lots of fasteners around. Just a couple of quibbles: I must have been sent the Sprinter fastener package- I got 9 10-32 machine screws and nuts, and zero 1/4-20 screws.

The parts are beautiful! No way I could have fabbed anything even close.

We’re nearing the end of our build and I recently got the shelf made and installed- wow, is that some useful space! Great for window covers, the dog’s leash, a couple sweaters, whatever.

Learned about your product from a YouTube van tour, I forget whose, but I ordered the brackets right then and there. My son is converting a Promaster and I admit to being a little jealous of the overhead shelf in his van.
