Power Sliding Rear Window Install
Hi everyone Im trying to change out my solid back glass for a power slider thats oem...my question that ford could not answer is, is the wiring all in place minus the switch for the install...has anyone done one of these yet? I have a 2012 F250 XLT. I am not even sure where the switch to move the window would go either...any help from anyone would be appreciated. I did look at the aftermarket kits that are available but they just look crappy to me...any thoughts? Thanks Guys

The Switch is in the overhead console. Not sure if the wiring is there. I would bet it is. Remove the back seat. The motor installs on the back wall behind the seat. the window is moved via a cable that travels from the motor (located in the center of the rear wall) toward the passenger side wall where it U-turns in the track to the sliding window. I may have a picture of the back wall with the motor. Unfortunately, I just covered everything back up with my new shelving for ARB cooler/freezer, storage shelves and clothes rack.
I have a 2013 F350 Supercab.
Here is a pic of the back wall:

The wiring may not be there but it is easy to get it working correctly. Lots of guys have taken the newer rear windows with power sliders and wired them into their trucks. Even if the wiring isn't there personally it is still worth it, i would use my rear window if i didn't have to climb in back or bend backwards to open it each time.
