alirte guys, i wanna replace my rear window on my truck, its the completely flat one, i dunno how to word it. i wanna put the manual window glass thingy in it. how much would it cost and where do i go to have this done? any websites for this? id rather not go through the dealer because theyd probably charge a butt load. thanks

 

http://www.truckininstyle.com/latemodelsliders.htm They sell CR Laurence products.

 

alrity, is this a reputable company?

 

Yes. I have dealt with them in the past. A quick search here will yield some other 'hits' about them, I'm sure.

DIY, looks pretty simple to do if you got a friend to help out.

 

I just installed a power slider a month ago and its fairly straight forward. If you know how to remove the rear seat back, plastic side trim and aft roof liner, its all cake from there on. Leave your truck sitting out in the hot sun for a few hours to loosen up the adhesive and then begin removing the 16 or so nuts holding the window in. Have someone in the bed and start pushing out near a corner until you break it loose. Have your in-bed helper keep slight pressure on the glass while removing and watch out for the black adhesive which will be stringing everywhere.

I left the old, soft adhesive on the body so as to be sure it wouldn't leak when mating to the new window. Glue will already be installed on new window protected by plastic. Remove the protective plastic and install in reverse. Secure nuts in a criss-cross pattern to avoid uneven pressure on the glass.

 

My wife and I installed a power slider on my 2001... it wasn't too awful on that particular truck but, it was definitely a two person job. I haven't jumped into a 2004+ but, I'm pretty sure that it can't be too bad. Famous last words, huh? HA!

 

alrite. i think i mite try it when i get some time off from class. mostly just so my gf can help me
