Anyone add a rear sliding window in 99-02?
 
Seems like GM stopped optioning that out in the NBS due to not being able to keep a seal, so I've been told. It looks like they have since come back with it on the 03+. Just wondering if anyone has added a read slider to those non years with success, ie no leaking.

Thanks guys,
Andrew

CRL slider,

no complaints

I've had the CR Lawrence sliding rear window in my truck for about 4 or 5 years now, and it's been great. It was installed under warranty at the dealership after 3 factory sliding rear windows cracked in the upper corners of the plastic window frame (water would pour in...first one cracked right before a hurricane!). Seems if GM just made the frame out of metal instead of plastic they wouldn't have had a problem.

The CRL window is pretty much the same configuration that the stocker was, except it slides behind the driver whereas the OEM one slid behind the passenger. It looks stock and works nicely :)

Cool, that's the type of information I'm looking for. So it's teh aluminum framed that helped it out eh?

Thanks guys.

Yeah the original ones kept cracking the frames so they switched. I had mine replaced like 4 times. The 4th time being the new brand of sliding window. It's been great ever since. I think mine is a Lawrence as well.

I have a CR Lawrence slider and love it! :cool: When I first got the truck (used), it had a very similiar slider that leaked a bit, so I took it under warranty and the dealer/glass shop replaced it with an extremely cheap split slider. :ripped: Well, I bitched and the dealer agreed that it was a complete POS window, so I now have this CRL one. :)

Not to post hijack, but what electric sliders are out there? I can't reach all the way back to manually slide a rear window in my ecsb.

silveradosam 06-07-2005 01:34 PM

I have been wanting one as well. Are there any that slide down like in a sport track explorere?? Which ones are the best for electric?

agreif 06-07-2005 05:48 PM

CR Laurence makes power sliders, but it slides that middle vent over not the whole window down.
