Q1: What is a bond-in window?

A: A bond-in window is a frameless automotive-style window that is adhered to the van body using urethane adhesive. It offers a sleek, modern appearance and creates a watertight, secure seal.

Q2: Are bond-in windows compatible with my van?

A: Bond-in windows are available for most popular vans including Sprinter (high/low roof), Ford Transit (medium/high roof), and RAM ProMaster. Check the product fitment details for your specific year and wheelbase.

Q3: What’s the difference between bond-in and clamp-in windows?

A: Bond-in windows use urethane adhesive for a seamless, low-profile install. Clamp-in windows use a mechanical frame and clamps to hold the glass in place—easier to install, but with a different appearance.

Q4: Can I install a bond-in window myself?

A: DIY installation is possible if you’re comfortable with bodywork, cutting metal, and applying automotive urethane. However, many customers choose to have a professional RV or van builder perform the install to ensure a watertight seal.

Q5: What tools or supplies do I need to install a bond-in window?

A: You’ll need:

• Automotive urethane adhesive
• Primer for glass and metal
• Cutting tools (jigsaw with metal blade or body saw)
• Masking tape, clamps, and cleaning supplies
  

Q6: Do bond-in windows come with adhesive or primer?

A: Most bond-in windows do not include adhesive or primer. These must be purchased separately or as part of an install kit designed for your specific window.

Q7: How long does the urethane adhesive take to cure?

A: Urethane typically requires 24–48 hours to fully cure. Avoid driving or exposing the window to rain until the adhesive has fully set.

Q8: Are bond-in windows watertight and weatherproof?

A: Yes, when properly installed with high-quality urethane and primer, bond-in windows are fully watertight and dustproof, making them ideal for campervan use in all climates.

Q9: Do bond-in windows have opening panels or screens?

A: Some bond-in windows (like vented rear quarter or awning-style options) feature crank-out or sliding panels and bug screens. Others are fixed solid glass. Check product specs for ventilation options.

Q10: Can bond-in windows be installed in a cargo van with no existing windows?

A: Yes! Bond-in windows are designed for cargo vans and often align with factory stampings in the metal for easier installation. Always measure and confirm cutout dimensions before starting.
