#vanlife #sprinter #vanconversion
Have you been craving more sunlight in your cargo van? Well this tutorial is for you!
We'll walk you through all the steps it takes to install your very own bonded windows.
We decided to go with a passenger side sliding door half-slider window from CampervanHQ.

The process is pretty straight forward. You'll begin by gathering all the necessary supplies :
3M Window Weld : https://amzn.to/3fxONns
3M Single Step Primer : https://amzn.to/3nwVbzR
Daubers : https://amzn.to/34WWgdT
Framing Square : https://amzn.to/3F4FUw4
Makita Jigsaw : https://amzn.to/32X5XIL
Metal Cutting Blades : https://amzn.to/3zGIAiq
Dewalt Drill : https://amzn.to/3GaztJa
Drill Bits : https://amzn.to/3ncVSxY
Metal File : https://amzn.to/34oKjgD
Sand Paper : https://amzn.to/3G6dpPX
Primer : https://amzn.to/33l7esV
Masking Tape : https://amzn.to/3JXyH4q
Gaff Tape : https://amzn.to/3q8EFHS
Plastic Drop Cloth : https://amzn.to/34C9KeX
Caulk Gun : https://amzn.to/3JSHxk1
Isopropyl Cleaner : https://amzn.to/3JYZDRI
Mineral Spirits : https://amzn.to/3q6vaJo
Safety Glasses : https://amzn.to/3HLyT52
Ear Muffs : https://amzn.to/3zGnn86
With that, you can get started. First mark out your cut line, lay down some plastic and cardboard to catch any metal shards, and pop some pilot holes with your drill. Then you can go through with your jigsaw and cut your opening.
Next you'll want to come through with a metal file or grinder to smooth out any jagged edges. You can then cover those with a primer in order to prevent rusting.
Before you attach your window, you'll want to sand down about an 1 1/2" around the perimeter of your cut out, clean it with some mineral spirits, and apply your single step primer.
Then you can apply your adhesive to your window, put it in place, tape it down, and let it cure for 24 hours.
After that you should check for any leaks and then you should be good to go!
