Default Titan rear window on Silverado

Anybody familiar with what it takes to swap the rear power window from the back of a Nissan Titan? I've seen a few trucks with it done NBS and NNBS. I picked up an entire window assembly today from a 2007 Titan so ill be tackling the job within the next week. Itll be going on my 2007 Silverado Classic CC. I'll post a few example pictures. Any inputs greatly appreciated!

That's crazy it's so close to the same shape. You probably already know this but you don't want to try to mod that glass at all, tempered safety glass will explode if you mess with it at all. You also want to be really careful where you set it down. If it has exposed edges (looks like it does, no plastic trim) don't let it touch a concrete floor, even a smooth one. Some people may have gotten lucky but others find themselves with a sudden unexpected pile of popping, crackling, busted glass.

As of today 3/29/18 I got the rear window removed yesterday and I cut the back panel off the truck. I'll be installing the rest today. I found a shop that has installed them with a new molding so ill be doing that should like like this one here. More pics as it comes along. Notice the molding around the window so you don't see any gap.

That black nbs is my buddy Bruce's truck. He got it installed by my buddy Weston at a glass shop in Baton Rouge. Came out really nice. I think its pretty much a direct fit on nbs.

Windows installed with a new molding
Made a few brackets outta some angle
Used what we had laying around so a little welding was involved in making the brackets.
Nice clearance for the window to roll down
Cut the plastic and put the factory carpet back on. Now on to the wiring

Wonder if the Tundra full roll down window would be another option also?
