Miami-Ace Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hi, I have a new Transit Connect van with no side windows. I skipped them as an option because my wife and I wanted sliding glass (with screens) that we could use for camping trips. Anybody out there have any info on availability of this type of window in the after-market? :D Stacey Underhill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semperkeith Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Miami, were you ever able to find the windows you were looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103west43rd Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 semperkeith, if you need them, forum member Willie found them on eBay back in February 2011, it looks like they are still available...........http://cgi.ebay.com/...e9#ht_528wt_667 semperkeith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 That's the one I saw, okay. Thanks Westie. Certainly not inexpensive at $700 for just one window. Then you can add installation to that too. Gotta be a better option for ventilation. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyvideo Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The NYC Transit Connect taxi's have a window in the side sliding door. It's 2 panels and one slides back over the other. I've thought about trying to find out if its aftermarket, or part of the TC Taxi Package. I just haven't had a chance to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Did you ever get the response you were looking for? I just purchased a 2010 TC and it came with sliding windows installed in the sliding doors. They're not as large as the factory windows, but they appear to be well made and installed professionally. They're tinted, too, for privacy. Let me know if you're still looking, admittedly not likely 3 years later, and I'll find out who makes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hey Timbo, that sounds interesting. Since the sliders are smaller would installation require a new door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windguy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 how about cr laurence? http://www.crlaurence.com/apps/sitesearch/search.aspx?query=transit%20connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks Windguy, but do those C R Laurence windows open? It doesn't look as if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windguy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks Windguy, but do those C R Laurence windows open? It doesn't look as if they do. I have no idea. I'd suggest contacting the company. My only knowledge of this window source is from a Sprinter forum where posters have gotten aftermarket windows from them. Best of luck.

Timbo Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Hey Timbo, that sounds interesting. Since the sliders are smaller would installation require a new door? Turns out they're made by CR Laurence, and no, you don't have to replace the doors if you have a cargo van. They slide open and have a plastic screen to keep bugs out. I've tested mine for leaks and have found none. Not sure if I'm allowed to post links, but this is close to what I have. http://www.amazon.com/C-R-LAURENCE-HTW20043-Horizontal-Sliding/dp/B002CXEXVK My windows are 25" by 15" and are made of tempered glass. I hope this helps. Edited July 19, 2014 by Timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnTroy Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I've seen a few of these ExecuCars in my area with a sliding window in the sliding door...I'd like to find out who makes these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booner Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I put a CR Lawrence window in my full sized van and it worked real well, But i'd like to put something a little more streamed-line on my TC. Been wondering how well a sunroof would work in the sliding doors. Obviously, the sunroof would be installed sideways. Next spring I'll retire and move to Missouri. The CR Lawrence factory will be about 100 miles away. Looks like a road trip for me to see what would work. If nothing else, I'd take the factory glued-in windows. Having a side window on the sliders would increase the safety factor a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty decent when closed, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnoll Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Not sure this is the pop top you’re looking at. Europe has a lot more options than we do, much cheaper and done in a day. This guy ends up being about $10K and wants the van for 2 weeks. https://ursaminorvehicles.com/campers/ford-camper-conversions.html Edited June 4, 2020 by tnoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the last photo shows it cut to the shape of the framework inside like the wagens would have. ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works perfectly, no issues at all. You can look at my installation on page 2 of my simple camper thread here; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the inside, there's the fairly large steel door structure that makes the actual opening quite a bit smaller than it appears from outside, as shown in their pics. Desert_Connect has a great photo showing just that in his thread, this pic here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
