Default Electric pop out windows?

Alright, so I know this may be a little over the top, but does anybody know of any electric pop-out window kits for a 99 Silverado? I'd like to be able to have a little more control over ventilation while on the road... and I know the BMW M3's have them for their rear windows, so it is possible.... now i want it for my truck...

Only thing I know about is electric sliding glass rear windows for trucks. I don't know if you have an extended cab or whatever and your talking about those rear windows, but I haven't seen that... just the power sliding rear window. I don't remember what brand it is but I had one put in my old Colorado.

I think some ford suv's also have them. I bet it would be as simple as wiring in 2 new switches and the electric hinge mechanism. I've always wanted to do it to my sierra, i need to try it.

Eh, I was hoping for an easy universal kit... I guess I'll have to wait until somebody figures out there might be a market for them...

A little off the subject but does anyone know of an easy way to replace the weather stripping around the EC window? The dealership says you have to buy a new window and all and with labor that comes out over $400.
Has anyone popped one out and just put in your own stripping?

The Quarter Glass Is Held In With Uerethane U Might Want To Try Taking It To An Auto Glass Shop And Have Them Reseal It Or R&r It (remove And Replace). It Shpould Be About 50$.

You can't reseal the window seal on the ec doors because of the way they are designed.
It costs about $400 with installation to have the dealership put a new window in or about 190 installed for a body shop to replace it with a used one that still has a good seal on it.

Just an FYI in case someone else has a similar issue.
