Another successful one piece window install on TF

Many, many thanks to Blackdiesel for the video he made on getting one piece windows to work in a TF door. He estimates 4 hours to install but I sorta took my time on it and worked on it a little bit over several weekends. Seems like I'd get some momentum then realize I forgot to buy the window channel or the rubber thing that holds the glass in its channel. It took a little thought to get the adjustments all on door #1 but after you get it in the first door, you'll have the second door adjusted within a few minutes. Great mod and works as advertised! Thanks BD!

I did a search on power window kits and think it might be beyond my abilities so I think I'll just leave the window cranks on the truck. Seems the one piece windows are more complex so I'll leave it alone.

Jeff

Re: Another successful one piece window install on TF

Cost (from memory so these are estimates):

Side glass from local glass shop: $75
Window felts and whiskers: $120 (2 sets of 8 ft sticks)
Extra roller piece to lengthen stock tracks: $10
Rubber window channel pieces: $7
Necessary bolts: about $6

Total: $218

Jemo take a look at a ford taurus power window motor, they have the same teeth pitch as the TF truck and most ford setups are the same. grab the ones out of the rear doors as they usually have less use on them and they can be rebuilt with available parts from local vendors.
