Ok , thanks for that info , much appreciated .
It's hard to pull the trigger on ordering parts like this when a vendor's description is so vague . I don't care to call to ask too many questions as it takes up their valuable time (and mine) as well as not interested in a sales pitch . If I want a part , I'll buy the ****ed thing . But why do so many of them not at least put up some decent pictures of parts installed and a little bit of detail , it would sure help sales ...

Here they are for the test fit. Mind you these are leaning inward a bit due to the fact that there is no hard top cap on yet an they are not bolted down. There will be slightly more clearance once that is done.

I really like this idea, I wonder if we could find a horse trailer supplier to pop some of these out for less than the $400 price tag.

C.R. Laurence is the company that produces these units, thay are well known in the glass industry for aftermatket sliding backglass supliers. Perhaps someone could get a price on them and see if regular clear glass is an option. I'm sure a quantity would have to be met because of low demand.

Two things :
Are the extra screw holes there for a reason ?

It looks to protrude inside quite a bit , is this going to interfere with the factory roll bar ?

Thanks for the pics , much better than the vendors ....

1 year update: These things are great. They give the truck a great look and help with the heat in the texas summer.

The handles that slide the windows do stick out to the point that they touch the roll bar. This is teh stopping point for how far the windows open on rigs with stock rollbars. I figure an aftemarket rollbar may not have this issue depending on the bend. It is the slip joint on the factory rollbar that comes in contact. To me, this is no problem and it is merely the stopping point for where I open the window. One could A. design a lever with a lower profile B. grind down the lever by just a little and paint the edge.

These are really cool - if it turns out my hard-top is salvageable, I may have to install a set of these. I also wish they weren't tinted, but beggars can't be choosers! Thanks for writing this up.
