You have any pictures of how you wired the switch?

From the switch i used a fuse tap and tapped into the "rear windshield wiper" motor, i think it was a 30A fuse, and then i used a 25A fuse for my window motor.
Initially that fuse is not used because only the suburbans have a rear windshield wiper. The fuse tap you can get online or at the auto parts, NNBS trucks use the standard mini size fuse, and i just grounded the switch right by the crash bar under the dash. Window has not skipped a beat sense.
Im having an issue figuring out how to keep the water out, im thinking of buying two window seals and running them from edge to edge to see if it helps.
Just put mine in I have 2000 Chevy 1500. Now just have to figure out the wiring.
Lets see it! Where’s dat motivational pic at?!?
But seriously, I’d like to see how it looks on a RCSB. I think that I saw one pic in here of it, but more photo angles would help give a better idea of how it looks.
I’ve been thinking that this window would look great on a 4 door, but not sure how fitting it is for a RCSB yet. I’m sure that it’s an awesome change either way.
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.
You have any pictures of how you wired the switch?
Here you go. Only wires you use are the black/red and blue/yellow wire off the motor.
Then i ran my power to a fuse tap in the dash with at least 25amps i believe, and then ground to a bolt.
I used the switch that was posted in this thread, any other way i wouldnt be able to help as far as wiring.
I added the pic of the switch for reference on what goes where.
Mine leaks water from that hole, how did you seal that hole without affecting the run channel?
For you guys asking about sealing the window... it's not going to seal. Your door windows don't seal, sunroofs don't seal etc, they all have drip trays and or drains. You'll need to fab up a little drip tray with a drain tube that drips out the bottom of the cab. Your doors have holes in the bottom to let water out and sunroofs have drip trays with drain tubes that go out above the fender liners in most cars. In other words, it's supposed to leak and it's okay if it does, the water just needs somewhere to go.
Y'alls trucks look damn good with that window mod though, at first I thought it was gonna be ugly or something then I saw pictures. **** looks good.

I posted mine above, i live in houston and every "professional" ive seen, does the same thing i did, maybe not even as sturdy.
Sheet metal square, that goes around the window completely sealed, and then a couple holes drilled into the ground on the inside corners of the pan, with a drain tube going out the bottom

I saw man and it looks sick. So that cover ls just a shield that contains any water that might be coming in with just some drain tubes drilled to release and potential infiltration?
I am about to do this on my 2000 nbs and I was wondering if you guys spaced the window up to be able to glue it in. I would appreciate any help and greatly appreciate a how to of glueing the glass in.
