retractable rear window?

Has anyone seen a electric retractable rear window for the F150's? My sliding window is vibrating like something awful and I want to get rid of it.

Not sure what you mean by "retractable". Breezer makes a window you can take completely out. C.R. Laurence makes a power slider, I've got it installed in my beast, its awesome.
FYI, Any Fords that come with the power slider, actually have the C.R. Laurence unit. My switch is mounted in my seat.

I assume you did the intall, yes? What was the cost? Cheaper than buying from Ford?

Looks great.

Cooper, my body shop did the install of the window itself, because they had to take the window out anyways (we were repainting the entire truck), but I did the wiring and the motor installastion. Installation took about 25 minutes, which was aided because I already had a fuse block back there for power, and the interior was already apart for reasons mentioned already.
Yes, it was cheaper then from Ford. Forget where Ig ot it from, some sunroof place actually.

Matt, that is a pretty cool place to put the switch. I was actually going to try to put mine in the drivers door, behind the window switches.

I was looking for something that goes up and down. Can you post some pics of the power slider?

flamed, if you want something like that, it'll have to be custom. Because of how the back seat mounts etc. you'd basically have to add on to the back wall behind the cab, etc. in order to have a channel for it to go down into. not very easy.
The C.R. Laurence power slider looks almost identical to the factory sliding window, with the exception of the finger opener thingy. Here's some pics.
