– Adjoining components (attachment and reinforcing parts), cables and cabinets in the vehicle interior must not get damaged when sawing the hole.
– Sufficient space needs to be available for installing the inner and outer frames.
– Only install the wall window on curved wall surfaces with a radius of 5000 mm.
