Does anyone make a single glass conversion kit for our trucks yet. I would sure like to loose the wing window as this is the prime target for people breaking into these trucks.

I have yet to see a single piece window available but in reality if a thief wants in your truck with or without a wing window they are gonna get in.

I also have lock downs but that is not how they get in through the window. I'm not sure if I should share what they did to my truck but it only takes seconds to do it and nothing is broke.

Ok, I'll tell if nothing more than to get some help in finding single glass side. Were is the hinge for the wing window, its outside. A cordless drill and your inside in a few seconds. It would be ok even if the hinge was located inside.

This happened to me a few years ok. We eventually busted a professional ring that was doing this but to late for my truck.

if you fix the wing problem. the theives will find somewhere else to break in. just enjoy your truck and hope it doesn't get taken. however, if it does that is why you pay those stupid insurance rates. you could now enjoy building a new one. now you could fix all the mistakes you made on the previous truck.
