Re: Window install questions
Hey Red Top,
I installed a cr Lawrence window in my van this past winter. I used 1x2 in" wood to build a "picture frame" that would be used as a "spacer"between the sheet metal and the window casing. With the wood you can make some secondary cuts/rips to work around areas in the van wall that are single sheet vs. double sheet metal. I had a 2" wide window frame, so the wood filled the gap between the van wall and the window casing. The wood is not screwed in, the window screws together. The compression of the outer and inner window casing around the wood sucks it all together. Since I didn't think it through enough before I started, I had to quickly fabricate the wood in order to get a strong seal before the auto caulking cured! Total shit show, but inevitably the window works great and is leak free. After window installation was completed, I came back and replaced the pine with some hard wood and did some work on the rounded window corners. I'd post some pics but my van is at U-Joint getting 4x4! Will try to post some pics when I get the van back. It's important to know what kind of interior paneling you will use before you buy the window.
Where did you find that bench seat? Discount vans? I imagine it folds into bed?
