After you cut the hole in your van wall for a half-slider bunk window, the raw edge around the opening is still visible. This interior trim covers that edge so youre not looking at exposed metal or brushing against it as you move around.
When you install a half-slider bunk window, the raw cut edge around the opening is still visible. That edge can chip over time. Even if it's painted, it's still thinner and more exposed than the surrounding panel. The cut edge can also feel sharp or uneven. Covering it reduces the chance of your hand or shirt catching on that exposed metal as you move around.
The trim mounts to the inside of your van wall around the window cutout, but you can secure it a few different ways. You can fasten it with self-tapping screws to pull it tight against the wall. You can glue it in place if you dont want visible screw heads around the window. If your window uses bolts that pass through the wall, the trim can sit under that same hardware so its clamped in place when the window is tightened, leaving a smooth, finished edge instead of rough, exposed metal.

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer. Let's take a look at this interior window trim from Van Windows Direct. This fits a half-slider bunk window, specifically item number VW73FR, that's sold separately. And this, when you install a half-slider bunk window, the raw cut edge around the opening is still going to be visible, folks. So that edge can potentially chip your glass over time and potentially maybe even cut you as well.
So even if you paint it, even if you smooth it out, it's best to get something like this to take down that sharp or even uneven feel. It just gives it a nice, clean finished look in my opinion. Now this is going to fit again that window I just mentioned. As far as installing it, the trim mounts to the inside of the van wall around the window cutout. And as you can see, you have this flange here, and everything is pre-drilled as far as holes.
They give you the screws here as well for installation, these self-tappers. Now, if you don't want to use the self-tappers, you can actually glue this in place. We do not carry the glue at this time. That sold separately from the manufacturer. And you can look up the installation instructions as far as what type of glue, if you want to do that as well, as far as an install.
And if your window does use bolts that pass through the wall, your trim can sit under that same hardware and that will work as well, even a smooth finished edge instead of the rough exposed material as well. As far as some dimensions, I gave you the window it fits, but I also like to give dimensions when I can, 35 and 1/2 long by 12 and 1/2. And as far as the inside, right close to 11, we'll call it 11, by about 34. So again, folks, those are rough dimensions. Obviously, this thing can probably tweak a little bit and give me a 1/16 of an inch difference.
But this again is the interior window trim from Van Windows Direct. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.
