I believe there is a couple of members here that are using them.
Everything Ive read about it says a smooth easy install.
Just hard to dish out 700 duckies right now with this economy.

I put a set in my buddies truck last year they look very cool but I was not able to make them roll all the way down they get jammed on the front edge of the door about 3/4 of thr way down. He does'nt care about them rolling all the way down since he really does'nt drive the truck that much.I'm considering the kit for my truck when I get started on it later this year. The windows seem to seal pretty well and the instructions are very well written with lots of pictures.

how come they didnt roll all the way down

trixter99 · 07-06-2008, 09:56 PM

The windows won't roll down because they bind on the front of the doors where the hinge bolts onto I tried for a couple hours to adjust them so they would'nt bind only to have the glass to far back leaving a gap in the front lower corners of the window opening I have no idea what to do about the problem and the owner is happy with them the way they are. If it were my truck I would have made them work but this truck was already painted with a real fire paint job and I was not going to get carried away with trying to mod the doors at risk of dinging the doors and wrecking the paint job.

I have heard others say the same thing about these, just never have heard the reason why. I wonder if it's true for all, or if it has been addressed by the manufacturer.

Brothers doesn't make the kit, it is One Piece Products, and I have sold a number of them. If you want a personal opinion on them there are several people here that I have sold them to. 7T7 is one of them that has posted pictures. (see link at bottom)

IF you are running factory power locks, YOU must make a bracket to lower the solenoid mounting posistion to clear the glass and lenghten the actuator rod.

trixter99 you talking about the 67-72 kit? None of the 73-87 kits that I know of have issues with rolling all the way up or down and I have sold a number of them.
Edit Just reread the post below and know it was the 73-87 you were talking about...

Ya'll are confusing the 67-72 kits (which require tweaking to go up and down on Power window versions) with the 73-87 kits.... AGAIN

Appreciate it!
