Default Window Installation (Sliding door) 2010 Exoress

Looking at purchasing a 2010 1500 Express Cargo, but it has no windows in the sliding door behind the passenger seat. Would this option work in the sliding door?

Any other suggestions on windows (and source) for installation in an Express slider? I need operability or venting also...

Thanks all in advance!

That looks like it is meant fort the wall sides not the door.
I owned a 95 van with no side windows only on the rear doors, and man that thing sucked to drive around. You can't check blind spots, and backing up is a huge issue.....
My advice is to find another van.......

The window you're looking at looks like it's decent quality. However I don't know if it would hold up in a slider. Sliding doors can be tricky. I've had some issues with the factory installed windows in vans with sliders that I've owned in the past. I don't know how you plan on configuring your van, but you might want to consider installing the swing-out screened window on the fixed walls of the van and put a fixed window in the slider. Otherwise I think you'd be taking a gamble on if that window, with all of it's parts that open and close, will hold up to the operation of the slider. If it doesn't work out it might be a challenge to find another option that will work since there will be a specifically sized hole in your door.
