thanks for the clarification. My question was how does the slider install from the inside, I guess it does not. Now my question is the gasket must be specific for the slider, not the same for rear window. unless a picture corrects me, I don't think the it will work.

Note, I have yet to install any rear window, and trying to get it in my head - before I try. May all work out when I install

 

Are you planning on using a CRL Laurence slider? They have a web site and from there you can hit a button on the bottom of the page to e-mail them.

TSW1450 - CRL Duo-Vent Four Panel Slider with Clear Glass for 1961-1966 Ford

Or call them at (800) 421-6144

I noticed it says this on the web page

"The state-of-the-art fully contoured, thin profile, powder-coated aluminum frames have narrow stiles for maximum rear view, and tight-sealing weatherstrips to protect the interior."

Which, makes it sound like it comes with its own weatherstrip, but that may be referring to the weatherstrips between the sliding glass portions. That'd be my bet.

I'd just call them and see if they know their own product well enough to tell you how it is done. See how their customer service is at the same time.

 

the window in my truck my mother bought for my dad years ago and the one in his truck came with the cab on his truck after I rolled it put his in about 2 or 3 years ago put new gasket on mine last year

 

Some what suspect when a company is so diversified?? Have yet to locate an address, and 'contact us' menu does not seem to take me any where? On a few occasions I have made the mistake of not checking on how difficult it is to contact a person on tele from supplier's customer service? Out of curiosity I went to Amazon and pulled up CR Laurence automotive sliding windows and found a few reviews, majority were on foreign or domestic pickups. Might want to take a looksee in making decision??

Oh, and by the way:

 

I have installed a lot, and I mean A Lot of Automotive glass professionally.
And I have never installed any rear glass in a truck from the inside.

So I just walked out and looked at my 66 F350. The gasket is much bigger
on the inside as are most. But to me it really does look like this one
could be installed from the inside. If I was going to take it out to install a
new gasket I would cut the gasket on the outside and push it in.
But if and when I reinstalled it I would prolly do it from the outside as
that is how I have always done it.
There are some tricks of the trade for installing front and back glass.
If ya want the info please PM me.

 

This is a good idea try and get ahold of them directly. Always nice to talk to a company in person. Like said if they cant even answer questions about there own product or give shi*** customer service then I become weary of dealing with them. I'd like to know if they supply there own special gasket with there slider or if it's made to work with a factory gasket. On my charger I got a new windshield and gasket turns out the repro glass is thinner then factory glass was so the gasket I had for it leaked like a som bitc*.

 

Did you just use a factory repro gasket? To bad you don't know where them windows came from. So who's going to be the guinea pig and try one of them CRL sliders?

 

I used to install auto glass. IMO CRL makes the best slider hands down.

 

Yes C. R. Lawrence makes a sliding rear window, for Ford F series, I just put one in my 64 f250 this past weekend.. Got new seal from Mac's Auto, the window was $130, the new seal was $25 It took me about 15 minutes to replace the old with the new, using the rope method... the CR lawrence is really very well made and fit perfectly...

 

^ Got any pics of it installed you could share with us? Well made no complaints?

 

I installed a CRL Laurence slider in one of my trucks near 20 yrs. ago and it still works well and doesn't leak I used a standard factory style seal. I have installed only 6 F-100 61-66 rear windows before and all of them installed from the inside - out. I did try to install one on a 66 from the outside and it DID NOT go well. I ended up destroying the seal. Second try with a new seal, and installed from the inside. Went right in. I have also installed '2' rear windows in Chevy trucks and both of those installed from the outside. I would think it might just be the design of the seal. Who knows, I don't do it professionally...

 

I will take some snaps of mine tomorrow, during daylight hours...

The Gasket from Macs would only install from the inside, if I had done it the other way it wouldn't seal correctly, and it would hang out past the body work... I called a friend who has a glass shop and he confirmed it for me. The Gasket has a taper to it, and only the inside window sill has that matching taper. I tried the Gasket by itself, and I matched the Factory installed window, if you try it from the outside it does not look right... so dry fit it before installation with out the window, and it will make sense... It left a smooth exterior fit, and then the rubber seal covers over where the headliner goes. I have my headliner out right now, making a new one that is padded, insulated, and form fit, but it will be quite easy to slip it in behind the window Seal.

Yes The CR Lawrence is very well made, and fit the cut out for the window perfectly.. I took the Mac's Seal, used the rope trick, and lubed it with liquid dish detergent, which I later rinsed off with a wet rag... had my son sit inside, and push on the window, while I pulled the rope a a bit at a time..

Sliders are mucho nice on a hot day in the South!

 

Well I thank all for the info given. I installed the CR Lawrence and it seems to be great quality The top is slightly arched to remove the large gasket look that has been a disadvantage in others.
Artic y Block - I wanted to thank you for the lessons you sent me. It again shows the help this forum is to newby's. I pm'ed you

From where I'm sitting that looks great. Installed from inside or outside?
