Airflow makes or breaks how your Sprinter feels inside. Without it, the space can feel closed in and stuffy. Adding this crank-out awning window turns that solid panel into a screened, tinted opening that tilts outward to bring in air.


Highlights

  • OE-Style Forward Panel Fit: Formed to match the factory Sprinter forward panel stamping.
  • Crank-Out Awning Design: Glass panel tilts outward using a T-handle crank.
  • Built-In Mesh Screen: Removable screen helps keep insects out when open.
  • Weather-Protected Venting: Upward tilt allows airflow even in light rain.
  • 17% Gray Solar Tint: Reduces glare while maintaining visibility.
  • Urethane-Bonded Installation: Installs with automotive urethane to form the primary seal.

Features to know about

Crank-Out Awning Glass Operation

Van Windows Direct Cranked Out

This awning window replaces the fixed glass in the driver-side forward panel of your Sprinter. Instead of a sealed piece of glass, the T-handle pushes the bottom edge outward while the top stays hinged, turning that section into an adjustable vent. When you're parked, sleeping inside, or hauling gear, that opening lets air move through the middle of the van instead of leaving that space sealed off.

Removable Interior Mesh Screen

Van Windows Mesh Screen

The mesh screen mounts on the inside of the frame and stays in place while the window is open. When you're stopped for the night or parked at camp, it keeps bugs from coming through that opening so you can leave the glass tilted out without inviting insects inside.

17% Gray Solar Privacy Tint

Van Windows Direct Tinted

This forward panel sits along the main living and cargo area of the Sprinter. The 17% gray tint limits how much someone can see inside while you still have visibility out. It also reduces the amount of direct light coming through that glass so the interior is not fully exposed every time you park.

OE-Style Sprinter Forward Panel Fit

Van Windows Direct Cut

Cutting into the forward side panel is permanent. The glass has to match the factory contour so the urethane seals evenly against the body. This window follows the original stamping profile, so when it is set in place, the edge matches the panel you just opened up.

Urethane-Bonded Forward Panel Installation

Van Windows Direct Can of Urethane

After the opening is cut, a continuous bead of automotive urethane is applied around the perimeter. When the glass is set into place, that urethane bonds the window to the body and forms the seal that keeps water from entering the wall cavity. This bond holds the window in place and creates the weather barrier.
