kramttocs Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have a power slider from a 1996 in Darth, I paid the glass installer that Pete's uses to do it and left Darth's tinted fixed window with them for stock. Bill - where does the motor go on those? Vertical in the cab corner, horizontal on the floor beneath the window, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delco1946 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thought I would try to keep this all in one thread, but as an FYI I wanted to confirm something for the next person, especially since both Steele and Rubber the Right Way have updated/changed their websites to be less specific/informative. I haven't installed it yet, but it appears the master weather-strip kit from RTRW for 1980-86 Ford Trucks will NOT kit a rear factory slider from 1980 or 1981 with the aluminum frame (I expected this). I am making an assumption that the wide gap faces outward into the cab frame with the longer lip on the exterior. this means the inward facing slit/gap is for the window, and is barely thinker than a normal pane of glass. I may be eating my words. I stopped by the shop to drop off my weatherstrip and they already popped off the rear window. I looked at the factory slider and the outward aluminum perimeter pinches into a thin groove.....the approximate thickness of a pane of glass! So i'm not sure what the deal is with the thicker-edged factory slider Carry on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to grab this photo the other day. Here is one from a later year that uses the thicker groove: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Forgot to grab this photo the other day. Here is one from a later year that uses the thicker groove: Yup, same as both of my 1995 and 1996 factory SRW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
