CRL VAN WINDOWS

[Lcltrucksalesman]

Has anyone ever installed the CRL van windows in their cargo vans that were windowless? Cons or Pros? Easy to install? How do they install? I'm currently building up my 2008 Chevy Express van and I've found these windows and I used to do autobody before my current job so I feel comfortable doing it I just don't know if these are what i'm actually looking for.

depending on which one you buy, its cake. I bought one designed to go where a oem window would have on a passenger and it only took me an hour or so. one that bridges gaps would likely take a bit more cutting, but the crl windows are pretty easy to install. reminded me of an old sunroof. cut hole, goo up with windshield urethane or butyl tape and drop into hole. then sandwich with retaining ring and cinch down with supplied screws. just go easy on the screws. they cheap out there and send you ones that strip out really easy. windows seem to be really good quality though. mines been in 2 years and zero issues so far.

Pretty simple. Find your placement, Cut the hole, treat the bare metal, install glass. It has an inner frame that screws to the window channel. Impact drivers are handy for this also putting the screw tips a bit of wax to help them screw in a bit easier. This also prevents them from stripping out

Does anyone make a double pane window? Seems like it should be possible in theory.

That's a great question. Double pane would add so much efficiency! I don't have the answer but will start looking around unless somebody here knows the answer. Replacing my existing windows isn't even on my radar but if there are double panes to be had and I get cold next winter camping, that project will move up the list.

I installed some that I bought on Amazon, they fit great in OEM locations. I wish there was more available, like a slider bigger than a sandwich, but that's what there is.
I also installed the largest sunroof I could get, and it's amazing!

I dont think CRL does, I used Motion Windows, they will make whatever shape/size you want, but its not cheap. I am really happy i did double pane though!

Thanks Java. Noticeable difference in radiant heat/cold?

I wondered if thats how it would be. Its like replacing a topper window.

CRL windows

The windows are easy to install however we found the the windows they make for the Chevrolet vans do not fit in the body lines of the van? That is why with our Sema build we went with original van windows. Rick still has the CRL windows if your looking for a deal on them.

I might have to get a hold of you guys then. Id be okay with them not fitting the body lines very good lol.

yes Sun-View in Summerland BC Canada does make a thermal double pane window. I've ordered some from them and am very happy with the product. They build all the dual pane windows for Bigfoot.

How much do you want for them and what part numbers are they?
