reamer Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thanks for the feedback kramttocs, Please let us know how it fits when you get around to installing it. I'm hoping to order one soon myself, although I haven't decided which one yet. I'd like to order the OEM fit offering that CRL sells, but it is also quite a bit more money. Sun???? in Canada???? must be magnifying off the Ice. I have the stock slider, and the best advice to give is get a steel locking flip tab. The plastic one last a week...

I just commented and put an Amazon link to the CR Laurence DVL-2 latch in the new users sub-forum. ETA: Ron, The great nation of Canada 🇨🇦 is NOT the U.K. or the PNW.

I know the CRL glass I linked to above has the metal latch (was one of the criteria) but not sure if they kept the plastic one as part of the OEM version or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crl windows use their DVL-2 metal latch. At least my cheap model did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting to see how much it's going to cost to paint the rest of the truck before I commit to luxurious options like sliding rear windows...lol.

Personally I think the aluminum frame sliders like that look the best. Update: Looks like it didn't last long :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
