These covers are designed to accommodate the factory glass or aftermarket vented windows WITH A BARE METAL FRAME AROUND IT. This product now comes with a built in T vent split and can store in place in the window frame when not in use and now will also fold sideways for AMA, Van window Direct or other branded sliding vented windows. It does NOT work with custom framed window boxes or if furniture and other items are blocking the window.
ADVENTURE WAGON KITS: or people with framing covering the window pocket are now supported with a smaller crew window cover. This grabs on to the small bare metal flat section around the glass and should accommodate all aftermarket windows installed in that section. For best installation with ADV Kits, you will need to tuck it in about 1/4 inch to get the best light blocking seal. Alternatively you can buy the larger cover and put magnets (sold separately) behind the wall panel and the magnets will grab through there. This cover works best with factory glass, AMA or VWD windows. If you have CRL, the direct fit window cover is the better choice.
PASSENGER VANS: With the factory plastic trim or emergency window remaining in place, the magnet strength should grab through the plastic trim but in addition on the regular crew window (MERC007, VE3017), Van Essentials has stitched in along the top of each cover velcro that can be used to additionally adhere the window cover in place along the top. They include VHB velcro in each window cover. Please clean the plastic before adhering the VHB to the top of the window frame.
FW621L CRL FRAMED IN WINDOWS: Should your build have a framed in window right up to the clamp ring on your CRL window, this is a smaller window cover that fits the exact shape of the window frame clamp ring and comes with metal tab kit to allow the magnets to grab onto the ring shape.
STORYTELLER VANS: This is new to the collection as so many have asked for an upgrade to this location. This cover folds up in place and can open one side to the other and come in both colors.
