Ford Transit TL201 Installation Overview
Installing the TL201 driver-side forward windows requires removing a portion of the inner stamped sheet metal on Ford Transit Medium Roof and High Roof vans.
This installation overview applies to:
- TL201-AW – Premium Awning Window
- TL201-F – Fixed Glass Window
- TL201-SE – SE-Series Sliding Window
The general process is:
- Identify and carefully cut the required inner sheet metal from inside the van.
- File and deburr the cut edges so there are no sharp or raised areas.
- Prime or protect all freshly exposed steel.
- Install Trim-Lok edge molding over the finished sheet-metal edge.
- Dry-fit the window and verify clearance before applying automotive urethane.
- Urethane-bond the window in place and allow the adhesive to fully cure.
