Hey everyone, new here, thanks for the awesome resource!
I did a search, but was unable to find anyone describe definitively what I'm trying to do, so I apologize if this has been touched on somewhere.
I have a 2005 NA sprinter with a factory stationary window in the sliding door. I found a factory sliding window on craigslist, and the guy said he pulled the window out of a 2005 Sprinter's sliding door.
Comparing the sizes of the two windows, it appears that the window opening for the stationary window is slightly narrower and taller than the sliding window. It is difficult to tell for sure, however because of the rubber windowstripping.
My theory is that maybe the opening in the door itself is a bit different for the two window types.
My question is: has anyone done this before that can enlighten me on the sizing difference? I know these windows are pretty uncommon here in the US, but maybe someone in AUS/EU could enlighten me? I don't mind cutting the edges of the opening, as long as it will fit and seal. I would like to just pull the existing window out and check, but I live full time in the van and am afraid of messing up the existing weatherstripping.
Thank you!
