Protecting your cargo area is about more than just organization—it’s about security. That’s why installing rear window screens on the RAM ProMaster are one of our top-recommended upgrades. They help deter break-ins, prevent glass damage, and add a polished, professional look to your van. In this article, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step installation and share tips to get the job done in under an hour.

Why Installing Rear Window Screens on RAM ProMaster Matters

First, your van’s rear windows are vulnerable to impacts. Therefore, adding sturdy screens shields glass from errant tools or shifting cargo. Additionally, these steel guards deter theft by creating a physical barrier. As a result, you protect both your equipment and peace of mind. Finally, the powder-coated black finish blends seamlessly, preserving your van’s sleek look.

Overview of Rear Window Protection Screens

The Holman Rear Window Screen Kit includes:

  • Two precision-cut screens for hinged ProMaster rear doors
  • Sheet metal screws and lock washers for secure mounting
  • Powder-coat finish that resists corrosion and glare
  • Identical screens for both sides, simplifying installation

Furthermore, these screens fit all RAM ProMaster model years. Consequently, no vehicle modifications or custom trims are required.

Key Features of Installing Rear Window Screens on RAM ProMaster

When you choose this kit, you gain access to:

  • Enhanced Security: Steel bars block forced entry attempts.
  • Anti-Glare Design: Black powder coat reduces interior heat.
  • Quick Installation: Only six 3/16″ pilot holes per door.
  • No-Drill Tabs: Tabs align with factory sheet metal points.
  • Corrosion Resistance: UV-stable finish holds up in harsh conditions.

Moreover, the low-profile screens maintain original door function and clearance.

Step-by-Step: Installing Rear Window Screens on RAM ProMaster

  1. Gather Tools and Hardware
     First, clear your rear doors. Next, grab a 3/16″ drill bit, Sharpie, and Phillips screwdriver. Finally, confirm that your kit includes screws and washers.
  2. Position and Mark
     Then, hold the left screen against the inner door. Meanwhile, press each tab firmly. Consequently, the screen’s tabs contact sheet metal. Next, mark six drilling points with a chalk pen.
  3. Drill Pilot Holes
     After marking, install a depth stop on your drill. Then, drill six 3/16″ holes per door. However, avoid drilling too deep to protect internal panels.
  4. Align and Secure
     Next, align each tab with its pilot hole. Meanwhile, insert a sheet metal screw with a lock washer. Then, hand-tighten each screw loosely, ensuring all holes align.
  5. Final Tightening
     Finally, verify that the screen sits squarely. Then, torque each screw snugly—without over-tightening. Consequently, you prevent screw strip-out and maintain a flush fit.

By following this sequence, you achieve a secure, rattle-free installation.

Pro Tips for Flawless Guard Installation

  • Mark Twice, Drill Once: This prevents misaligned holes.
  • Work with Doors Closed: This ensures proper latch clearance.
  • Use Blue Loctite: A drop on each screw resists vibration.
  • Inspect Annually: Re-tighten screws to maintain security.
  • Retain Spare Hardware: Kits include extras for peace of mind.

Furthermore, if interior liners block tabs, peel back only the necessary section.

Maintaining Your Rear Window Screens

After installing rear window screens on RAM ProMaster, upkeep is simple:

  • Wash Periodically: Rinse off dust and road grime.
  • Inspect for Rust: Touch up with black paint if needed.
  • Check Fasteners: Confirm screws stay tight under rough roads.
  • Lubricate Hinges: Keep door hinges operating smoothly.

Consequently, you extend the life of both screens and doors.
