Wing window

Hey men,

Anyone out there have an extra driver side wing window for a 93 extended cab. I had to do an emergency lock out procedure on mine! I am in the Boise ID area, but if someone has one I could work out shipping costs and a lil coin.

Please let me know as the wrecking yard locally must think they are made out of gold or something!
Thanks,

Mac.

I know this is a little late but here goes. I locked myself out of my truck more than once, and broke the wing window the same as you. My wife locked herself out once and called the locksmith instead of breaking the window. The locksmith advised her to duct tape a door key to the back of the license plate, just bend the plate or remove the screw/bolt to access the key and unlock the door. Works great, I've needed to use this method once after lending the truck to a friend. Good luck.

I just used a selftapping sheetmetal skrew, and placed the spare key, somewhere under the truck, and gave it a little oil. the way I drive, the key will be covered in dust and grime, in no time!

I don't have a window but I can say I have a spare set of keys attached to a powerful magnet somewhere under my truck that is not easily seen.

I've been meaning to put a set under the hood someplace in one of those magnetic thingies. My hood has a piece of wire to pop it open behind the grill because it wasn't working right at one point in time. I figure it will be protected from road salt and mud this way, and also be more hidden than the usual spots people stick on the key holders. If only I remembered to make up that spare set though...
