Light changes how your Sprinter feels inside. Without it, the middle side panel section stays dark and harder to use. This fixed side panel window replaces that solid section with glass, so you get more daylight and a clear view outside.
This window replaces the solid metal panel in the middle position on the driver side of your 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter, 2007-2021 Freightliner Sprinter, or 2010-2026 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 170-inch wheelbase. Instead of a blank section along the center of the cargo area, you gain a fixed glass panel that adds visibility and natural light without introducing vents or moving parts. That section stays sealed while opening up the side of the van.
When you drive over bumps or uneven pavement, the body of the van moves slightly. The glass in this panel moves with the surrounding metal, which helps reduce stress at the edges and lowers the chance of cracking. To handle that movement, this window uses tempered safety glass that meets DOT and SAE standards for road use.
The middle side panel window sits at eye level from outside and creates a direct sightline into the cargo space. The 17% gray tint limits how much someone can see inside while still allowing visibility out. It also blocks 83% of UV rays, reducing sun exposure through that section of glass.
Cutting into the middle 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 into place, the edge matches the panel you just opened up.
After the opening is cut, a continuous bead of automotive urethane (VW74ZR - sold separately) is applied around the perimeter. When the glass is set into place, that urethane bonds it to the body panel and forms the seal that keeps water from entering the wall cavity. This bond secures the glass and creates the weather barrier so you can bring in light without adding a vented opening.

Hi, everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at our Van Windows Direct fixed rear quarter window for the driver's side of a 2007 to 2009 Dodge Sprinter, an '07 to 2021 Freightliner Sprinter, or a 2010 through current year Mercedes Benz Sprinter. All those need to have the 170 inch wheel base for this to work with that. So if you're building out a sprinter for camping, traveling, or working the road, the rear of that van can get pretty dark and feel cold, closed off with those metal panels, right So this glass here will replace the driver's side middle side panel, bringing in natural light, giving you a clear view outside, and also opening that space up to more visibility. Now, especially if you have a bed or a sitting area back there, this could also give you a lot more visibly to look at while in your downtime when you're relaxing and resting as well. Now this is a fixed window, so that means it doesn't slide open, it doesn't fold open or anything.
It's just going to be in place on the metal. As you can see, if it's the contour of those sprinter vans. So it's an OE fit. It's got a 17% privacy tint on the outside. So from the inside looking out, you can see through it still, but it does have a nice tint to it.
If you're going to tackle the install yourself, you will need to get some automotive grade black urethane. That urethane's going to help bond the glass, but also creates that weathertight seal that you need for this to work and keep water out. Now, if you don't want to tackle the install yourself, you can always check out our install locator link below. And on the product page, you can find that link. Click on it based on your zip code.
We can help find trusted etrailer installation places around the nation close to you that could do the install as well. Well, folks, that's going to wrap up our look together at this Van Windows Direct window. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
