The short answer
We use C.R. Laurence windows because they sit inside the factory OEM window stampings on Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster — openings the manufacturer already engineered to hold glass, with correct reinforcement and drainage. They meet DOT FMVSS 205 and ANSI Z26.1, and they are manufactured and warehoused domestically, so a replacement still exists in year ten.
Windows are the thing nobody researches and everybody regrets. They are also the one component where a mistake means you cut a hole in your vehicle’s structure and then have to live with it.
So we do not shop this one on price. We use C.R. Laurence, every time.
They follow the factory openings
CRL windows are designed to sit inside the OEM window stampings on Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster. That sounds cosmetic. It is structural.
The factory designed those openings to hold glass: correct reinforcement, correct drainage behind the panel, correct geometry. A freehand hole cut in the middle of a body panel has none of that, and it is where rust and leaks start.
It also means your van does not look converted. The tint and profile match the factory glass, so the whole vehicle reads as one thing rather than as a cargo van with holes in it.
The sealing system is properly engineered
Urethane-bonded aluminum frame, a pre-applied EPDM seal that compresses against the van’s outer wall, plus a separate seal on the vent glass. The vents run on a gearbox and torsion bar rather than friction hinges — which is why a CRL vent still cranks smoothly after years of dust and freeze-thaw.
The screens clip in and out of a powder-coated aluminum frame for cleaning. Small thing. You will love it in mosquito season.
Real safety certification
CRL van glass meets DOT FMVSS 205 and ANSI Z26.1 — the same automotive standards your windshield meets. That matters for egress requirements and for insurance, and it means nobody has to take anyone’s word for anything.
Made here, stocked here
CRL manufactures domestically and warehouses across the country. Two consequences: our lead times do not depend on an ocean crossing, and if you crack a window in Moab in year six, the replacement exists, it is stocked in the US, and it fits exactly like the original.
That is the test we apply to every partner — will your parts still be gettable in a decade?

Frequently asked questions
Are CR Laurence van windows made in the USA?
Yes. C.R. Laurence manufactures them domestically and warehouses stock across the country, which keeps lead times short and means replacements remain available years after a build.
Do CRL van windows meet safety standards?
They meet DOT FMVSS 205 and ANSI Z26.1 — the same automotive glazing standards a windshield meets. That matters for egress requirements and for insurance.
Why should a van window follow the factory opening?
Because the manufacturer engineered those openings to hold glass, with the correct reinforcement, drainage behind the panel, and geometry. A freehand hole cut in the middle of a body panel has none of that, and it is where rust and leaks begin.
Can I add windows to a van I already own?
Yes. Call 720-282-5075 with your window model and van details. The Titan Vans service center in Boulder installs CR Laurence windows on compatible customer-owned vans.
How much do van windows cost?
