I am wanting to replace the back window of my '95 XLT longbed; I was considering a sliding glass rear window but last night I wondered if anyone has ever tried adapting the rear window glass and window motor/regulator from a Bronco.

 

i have never seen this done with the bronco glass. would take some real engineering. the only real drawback would be water leaking into the back of the cab past the seals. i did however see a electric sliding rear window in a 96 super cab once. i have only seen 1 and am not even sure who made it.

 

I remember driving an Explorer Sportrac which had a back window that rolled down as well...

 

Welcome to FTE

Power sliding back window introduced in 1981 F150/350 Super Cabs, available thru 1996, thru 1997 F250/350's.

But, it was not available for Super Cabs with the rear bench seat.

 

I would love to get one of those! A sliding rear window for an extended cab would be great! I got to start looking for one!

 

Personally , I would put the money elsewhere in the truck. I've had sliders before and never opened them. Plus they like to leak.

 

Plus, you might as well not even bother locking your truck, since they are sooooooo easy to break in to....

 

Bigfoot edition trucks and some aftermarket pkgs offered the full drop window. they were NOTHING but problems

This is exactly what I was talking about....

 

That video is really cool. I am not a fan of how it looks on the inside though. It would be easy enough to "finish" it off though... Thanks for posting that. I got some thinking to do again...

 

Once your carpet is always wet and the window jams up the novelty wears off pretty quick

 

If the temperature is above 60 and I'm in my obs that sliding rear window will be open and it's actually the only truck I have with a rear slider. But I want that sliding down rear window even though they are impossible to find. Those kids playing with it going up and down though . I think there's still a company (c.r.laurence maybe?) that makes a power slider and that's what I'll probably go with because it's kind of a b**** to reach all the way back in a crew cab to open it.

 

I picked up a C.R. Laurence power slidr at a local auto wrecker recently for $40. All wiring and switch included.

 

I'm thinking that if you can use all the inner workings of a Bronco rear window, i.e. the factory window switch, regulator, motor, guides, and a modified F150 fixed glass, it should be do-able....

 

Keep thinking that. A bronco rear window is curved. A pickup cab is NOT
