Power sliding rear window
Has anyone converted a manual sliding rear window to power on a 2005 F250. I know there available on the newer trucks but I havn't seen one yet. It's a real pain to reach the rear window but my dog always want's to have his head out the back. Does any one make a coversion kit?
Thanks

You will have fun trying to do this. I can tell you there is a motor mounted to the rear wall, left of the window, which uses a wire pully to pull the window open and then reverses for closing. Can't tell you how the wire is attached to the window or if the electrical wires are there already.
Mine is an '06 KR w/ that option.

Hemm....... First I have ever heard of these power rear sliding windows. I usually just ask one of the kids to open the window. You could probably jury-rig a cable so that you could open and close it from the driver seat.

Duct tape, an old close line, two coat hangers and the pullies from your neibors close line. Duct tape one end of the close line to the left rear power window, run it throught the pullie and mount with the clothes hanger and duct tap. Tape the line to the rear sliding window, and run accros the back to the other pullie, roll down the right rear power window and tape to it. Now to open your sliding rear window, close the right rear window while opening the left. To close would be just the opposite.
I should work with red green.

OK, so ReAx I need to AX a question . . . Since it was a manual latch on the slider to start with, how are you unlatching this fine rig you created?

This thread started out as an upgrade from a manual slider to a power slider. To DIY you will need to search the salvage yards for the parts as FORD will only sell you the whole window pkg.If you have no manual slider now then you don't have that challenge do you . . .
