Power Sliding rear window

[BBlyman]

Dad finally made me jealous. He bought a 06 Tundra with the power rear window... . its badass. I have a 2005 2500 Ram with no sliding rear window and my arms aren't long enough to reach the rear window so I can open it. I saw someone installed an aftermarket electronic sliding rear window. I now need one. I did a search, but there are way to many posts to go thru. Can someone lead me in the right direction.



Thanks

Bob

I think any good glass shop is going to have access to a catalog. The one above is about 450

There is a company called CR Laurence that makes them as well. Have heard many good things about them just never have got around to getting one. I know they have them for 2nd gens dont know about later models never looked since I dont have one.

The Toyota one goes up and down right, not side to side, how wide is the opening where it opens?

It drops the whole rear glass Bertram... like a power window.

My freinds 06 Dodge has one (side to side) so you could probably get one from the dealer along with the factory switch to activate it.

I have a budddy who has a glass shop - been in business for 40 +years - will call him tomorrow and ask what he thinks.....

i wonder if a linear actuator could be put somehow on the stock rear sliding glass???

 

[hammersley]

Maybe -

but at least mine moves so crummy - I mean so stiff and not smooth - I think it would have to be designed from the beginning to move easily... ...

That's basically what the CR Laurence one does. Pics of my install in my reader's rigs. I really like it.

My new truck came with the power sliding window, thought it was a waste, but now I use it all the time it's great

When I was at work ( Chrysler Engineering ) I asked the planners to go and develop an up/down window as well as some other things but it didn't get done because of other items. I was hoping that we would lead the parade.
