Help!! Removal of the rear window on F150...?!!
Hello there..
I just bought my first Ford and first Pickup a few days ago!
I must say i love it... really cool truck!
But I have an issue with the rear window I need to solve!!! I need a bigger opening in the rear window than the stock center sliding window!
I am going to put a SnugTop Supersport shell on the bed.. I carry windsurfing boards and i need the extra length beyond the f150s rear window... The Boards will need to stick into the cab by about a couple of feet!!
At first i thought i could find aftermarket rear windows that slide down completely or at least open half way... but so far no success finding anybody who makes such a part... Do u know of any one who makes such a part? I need at least half open!
The second option i have is to remove the rear window all together? Not too happy to do that .. but i may have to! and i don't know if i will be able to have a clean finish once i remove the window...?? Any one with experience with removing the rear window? is it a very involved and difficult process to remove the rear window? possible to have a clean finish?
need your help!!!
If anyone here has any ideas about the above.. please drop me a few lines... i would really appreciate your help and any information u may have!!
My shell will be in in 3 weeks... i hope i find a solution before that!
Hope to hear from u soon!
Thanx and Cheers

if you look up Leer truck caps they all have a front boot option. You remove the back window on the truck and the front window on the cap and this boot fits in between the cap and the truck.
