Solid rear window to Power Slider
So, I finally got around to getting mine done. I was communicating w/another guy on here on the same subject, so the post is in a different area. Don't know how to (or if it's even possible) to copy a post from one thread and paste it in another. Sooo, here's the link if your interested...

I also have the Jason cap on the back. It also came with a solid front window and just changed that to a slider yesterday. Now my wife won't feel so bad when we have our 2 golden retrievers in the back. They shed way too much hair to ride in the cab.

Update...
So, yesterday I went to the local dealership to help me find the trim piece that goes around the new switch I put in. He spent about 25-30 min looking at his computer screen, only to tell me it's not available as a separate piece. I would have to buy a whole new headliner console that comes with the switch, and the trim piece! Price: 148.00 plus tax---and I already have the console & the switch! I just need a piece of plastic.
So, today I got out my little hobby knife, and went to work. I took the "blank" trim piece that I removed so that I could install the switch, and started cutting. The end result...
The first pic is the "blank" piece; Second pic is the switch installed w/o trim; the past pic is my self-made trim piece. It may not be OEM, but it fits perfectly, is the exact same color, and didn't cost me over $150.00!

Does the defrosting feature work, now that u have the slider? The only reason I want the slider is so I can have the rear defrost for the winter months. Idk why ford doesn't put them on the solid rear windows.

However, from what I read in the owners manual, if you have the heated mirrors, the rear defroster is on the same circuit/switch. And since the wiring was already there for the rear defroster, I'm guessing it's already wired to the switch. I'm going on the adage if A=B and B=C, then A=C. I'll know for sure the first time I turn it on this fall...
