also been rebuilding my slider windows im only on the first one i think its the rt front,i purchased the window kit for two slider windows from truck shop, all was good had to weld a channel in the bottom of a coupler frames, i did not like the corners where it is square i was gonna pull it into the corners tite, but after 209.00 bucks later i purchased the seals only from precision where the corners are square i think the 209.00 covers all four windows took a look this morning looks like all four corners pieces are there, it does not come with felt or runs so i will have to pick up two more long pieces of run channel and couple pieces of felt to go along with the two from the car shop, i have total of 8 sliders so im using the super rusty set as a how to thats why my new frame is resting on a dirty set lol front and back are different
