Thanks for the feedback. I see what you mean. I had no idea the vertical bar was a consideration. I agree about the 80% issue.

Idea... Buy a CRL window, take it out of the package, hold mounting ring up to the opening on the inside of the van. If it fits with no gaps, have a glass company cut out the AMA window (it takes some specialized tools), clean up the outer panel surface as good as you can, install the CRL window, list AMA window for sale on FB marketplace or FB Sprinter group or Sprinter Source Forum. It will sell quickly.

If the CRL mounting ring doesn't look like it will fit, selling a CRL window on any of those sites listed above will also be pretty easy. Low risk of losing any money. Lead times for windows have been up and down this past year. Some people would jump on a window available immediately.

Best idea yet. I was trying to obtain full-size paper plans of the two windows, but your idea makes a lot of sense. Next issue would be finding an installer within fifty miles of my 93402 area, but that's for later.
Thank you for offering a great solution!
