Hmmm...

The "middle" window in the sliding door is a different size than the
"middle" window on the opposing side -- so it would make sense that a
right-hand drive unit would be different than on a left-hand drive van, but
I can't believe that the rear windows aren't the same left and right.

Cheers,
