Whether you're trying to keep the van cool during the summer or sealing in the heat in the winter, VanEssential has you covered. Designed for stealth camping, these window covers have external facing black fabric for privacy and safety. This Crew Window cover is easily configurable to your privacy preference of full coverage, half up, or full visibility.
VanEssential uses the strongest magnets available, double-aluminum automotive grade insulation and premium fabrics to create window covers that are durable enough to last through all your adventures.
Note: The crew window location is the first row, across from the sliding door, just behind the driver. This product now comes with a built in T vent split and can store in place in the window frame when not in use and now will also fold sideways for AMA, Van Windows Direct or other branded sliding vented windows.
VanEssential currently makes six types of window covers that are compatible with Mercedes-Benz vans built from 2007 to current model. Read below to see which cover will best fit your van.
If you are unsure about anything, please email us a picture of your window prior to ordering and we'll can confirm compatibility.
Window Style Options
Cargo/Passenger
These covers are designed to accommodate the factory glass or aftermarket vented windows WITH A BARE METAL FRAME AROUND IT.
If your van has factory plastic trim or emergency window remaining in place, the magnet strength should grab through the plastic trim. This Cargo/Passenger crew window cover option also has velcro stitched along the top that can be used to additionally adhere the window cover in place along the top of crew windows with factory plastic trim. VanEssential includes VHB velcro tape with each Cargo/Passenger window cover. Please clean the plastic before adhering the VHB to the top of the window frame.
This crew window cover option does NOT work with custom framed window boxes or if furniture and other items are blocking the window.
