Installation of the SL101 driver-side forward windows requires removal of a portion of the inner stamped sheet metal on compatible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.
This installation overview applies to:
- SL101-AW – Premium Awning Window

The general process is:
- Identify and carefully cut the required inner sheet metal from inside the van when possible.
- File and deburr the cut edges to remove any sharp or raised areas.
- Prime or protect all freshly exposed steel.
- Install Trim-Lok edge molding over the finished sheet-metal edge.
- Clean all metal debris from the wall cavity.
- Dry-fit the actual SL101 window and verify complete clearance before applying automotive urethane.
