The rings are supplied deep so you can trim them down to the exact wall thickness you have actually built. Cut them on a table saw with a fine-tooth blade or a track saw against a straight edge, take a test slice first, and measure your finished wall from the glass flange to the face of your panel before you cut anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScrewed or glued?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth work and they give different results. Self-tapping screws from outside through the ring into the wall panel is the fast method and is fully reversible — good if the panel might come off again. Glued or through-bolted from behind hides all fasteners and is what we do on customer vans, but you need to clamp it while the adhesive cures and you only get one shot at the alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ring hold the window in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The glass is bonded to the van body by your window installer or by the window kit. The trim ring is the interior finishing collar that spans the gap between the glass flange and your finished wall, hides the raw metal and the insulation, and protects the panel edge. It is trim, not structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does it say “custom” in the name?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is cut specifically for the ProMaster rear half-slider opening rather than being a universal ring that gets forced to fit. The name is the manufacturer’s; the meaning is platform-specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairs well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/van-life-parts\"\u003eVan conversion trim and finishing parts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold and shipped by Campervan Parts R Us, the parts counter of Noke Van Co. — a working van conversion shop in Roanoke, Virginia.
