Sliding Door W/Window

[Liddy]

Good Day Folks,
Long time Lurker first time posting.
I was hoping someone could help me out with finding a sliding side door with a factory window for a 2005 E350 van. I am preparing for a UJoint Off Road 4X4 conversion but want to install a door with a window first along with door extension from Weldtec. I was thinking of installing an after market window but the inside of the door does not seem to be conducive to installing one large window, it looks like two small windows would only be able to be installed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I am located in the Riverside (Norco) area of Southern Ca.

A CR Laurence FW904RS will work. You can cut out the center brace.

I can hook you up w a will call unit in Los Angeles, if you are interested. Availability looks like third week of April, right now.

Search car-part.com
-Ford Van E350
-Door rear (side of vehicle)
-Side, sliding, window

there are 8 pages of results...highest price listed is $750. Most of them pictured are white.

Lists salvage yard by distance from your zip.

You can replace the whole door pretty easily. Best to have some help cuz it's pretty awkward and heavy to lift the door by yourself.

If you want to do the hinge DIY style, instructions are here:

Mike is right on.

Finding a white slider with window would be my first choice even if my van was not white. The factory awning window works really well.

Thank you, I will try this IF I am unsuccessful in my quest to find a factory door and window. Would you happen to have a picture of this inside after cutting out the mid window support?
Thank you in advance for your response.

Thanks! Would you happen to have a part number for the window you installed?

That should be a CR Laurence FW271 . It is a fixed window and stands off the door when mounted by the thickness of the glass. Currently out of stock and possibly discontinued, I would have to check w CRL as it still appears on their window listings.

The FW904RS awning window that is smaller but works in the slider. It opens gif ventilation.

Best option is finding a slider with the OEM pop out window snd swapping it over.
