The trim although thin looking seems like it would make it more difficult to get the inside of the glass to be as close as possible to the outside metal. I assume the urethane bridges or fills in whatever gap that’s left or else you wouldn’t use it? And if I was to be installing both rear and side windows which is easier or less critical as in which should I ‘practice’ with first? Rear or side? Thanks for the great video and easy to order website.
Thanks for the great video. Best install video for the rear sprinter rear windows anywhere! I couldn’t understand the purpose of the painters tape on the inside frame when you were cutting? Is it necessary? Is the primer adequate in place rust paint?
@@vanwindowsdirect1261Is the sika207 primer alone good as a sealant? Most people said we need a primer like Rust-Oleum but you are only using the sika207 on the cut bare metal. Your website also doesn't list it as a sealant but only a primer for the urethane. Can you clarify?
@@vanwindowsdirect1261So it is also a sealant, if I use it for the cut edge? No need for other primer + paint to present rust, correct? I bought a big bottle from you guys.
Question on adding the trim molding. There’s a gap that is quite large between the two metal layers on the top of the window. I don’t see how the trim can span that. This is the tabs. The other tabs around the window aren’t large, but those top ones are.
also how many windows can that tiny primer from vwd website BetaPrime 5504G Single Application Primer cover? Or should I buy the Sika Primer 207 AGR Pigmented Solvent-Based Black Primer - 100 ml Bottle for multiple windows?
So another question if you don't mind. I'm planning out my window purchase for my 2019 sprinter. I have windows on the back door already from the factory and planning on getting the AmAuto slider for sliding door and behind driver. I notice on this video you put the rubber trim over the metal covering both inside and outside. On your video doing the sliding door you only put it over the metal on the inside. Reasoning? Am I making sense? Lol. Thanks
The Sliding Door install we did back when we only had one trim size. We have a new size that will cover both metals. You may want to wait till Friday night to put in your order you can see a new window we will be launching in our VWD Line at 5pm PST

Tape is just to protect the paint to not scratch it with the arms of the saw.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Is the primer good enough under the trim to prevent rust on the cut metal?

@@mathalwaysii Sika-207 is a primer for the urethane, if you have enough you can also use it on the cut edge.

The trim we offer for the 2007-up sprinter is wide enough to cap both inner and outer sheet metal as shown in video.
@@vanwindowsdirect1261 what about the trim for promaster, do they cover both inside and outside wall?
also how many windows can that tiny primer from vwd website BetaPrime 5504G Single Application Primer cover? Or should I buy the Sika Primer 207 AGR Pigmented Solvent-Based Black Primer - 100 ml Bottle for multiple windows?
@@mathalwaysii Yes correct.
