I am going to replace the trim around the rear window. The window is good but leaking around the seal. Did a Google search and see that is a fairly easy repair.
what would be the benefits of replacing the window with a sliding window. The one I have is solid
. I just thought if I have to remove the window anyway would it help with the resale value of the truck

 

Swap in a slider only if it matters to you. I’ve got one in my ‘03 and I don’t even pay attention to it unless I’m making a supply run for 10’ pvc pipe or rebar and I need to slide that stuff through that window.

These trucks aren’t worth enough in resale now to make it worth it generally. I mean, you can always find that one buyer that just has to have your truck, but with a slider, but odds are you’ll find way more tire kickers first.

 

Thanks.

 

i enjoy my slider when all the windows are down. Brings back memories of the triangle vent windows. Not quite as good but still nice. I wont have a truck that doesnt have a slider...but not everyone feels that way. I dont think it will increase or decrease value so I wouldnt swap to one unless YOU want one.

 

I'm restoring a 65 barracuda formula s that has the vent windows and the vent boxes under the dash. Love it

 

wrong post. 🤦‍♂️

 

Slider windows are just another point to break and leak.
I have had my truck for over 6 years now and have opened the slider maybe 3 times, one of them was when i was replacing the window seal.
If I had a regular cab I would probably use it more, because I do ride with the windows down often, but since I have a Super crew, I would have to get out and climb in the back to open and close the window, and it is just not worth it.

 

Thanks for your comments. Makes perfect sense. I'll keep the one piece that I have
