ok, search results only brought back one thread. we had an 03 scab flareside in the shop today. i realized that it has a power sliding rear window. i'd love to try to retrofit something like this into my 97 (if it's not too hard). im just wondering if anyone has done this, and if so, how involved.

 

It would require running power to rear slider but other than that there are or at one time were aftermarket units which replaced factory glass.

 

Showya is right, aftermarket has them, not sure who, though. The factory one is controlled by a module, but it would be possible to "retrofit" one. All it needs is a reversible power source just like power windows. Power and ground switches sides to power the window one way, then the other. Probably a lot easier to check out aftermarket, though.
