Ours made a clean cut with the fine metal blade. With any luck you have a hole that looks like this, but hopefully you have someone better looking to model the giant new hole in your van. At this point you may have a few rough points from your cut, or maybe you got a bit conservative and need to remove a little material to bring it up to the level of the internal flange, because that is our goal.
If this is the case, you can use a flap disc on a cheap angle grinder ours is a cheapy from Harbor Freight to remove excess material. Use oil-based paint and either a foam brush or a hobby brush to paint the exposed steel.
This is to protect the area from rust. You can now remove the blue tape. You will need the help of a friend. Once the paint is dry, spray the perimeter of the window opening with water, and spray the gasket of the window as well. This will help bed the gasket on the van without undue friction. Have your friend lift the window in place and hold pressure against it so it does not fall out. You will be putting pressure on the window from the inside when you start screwing it into place.
Fit the trim ring around the window with the split in the flange pointing down. We set all of the screws lightly and tightened them all down, but a better method is to start by installing a screw at the split in the trim ring and slowly work your way around in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, ending at the other side of the split in the trim.
This method will result in a tighter gap at the trim ring split than the method we used. We used this latter method when installing the half-slider windows in the rear of our van. Keep going around in this fashion until all screws are tight. We offer all of our write-ups and instructional videos for free.

That said, I found that when I came back later and gave the screws another turn, it sucked the window in a bit more and overall fitment is pretty good.
We have found these screened windows really help in creating a draft in the van, when used in conjunction with the roof vent fan. We typically run our fan in reverse pulling air out , with the t-vent window wings open. Thanks for reading along and good luck with your window install!
