We spent alot of time to get these "right" love the look but this "kit" is not perfected yet...... I spoke with the guy at the opp and relayed all the info from the install and he was surprised he ask "what was the skill level of the guy installing this kit"? My reply "you have no idea how good he is"
How long ago was this? OPP is on revision 5 of these.

1)Page 33 of the fitment/adjustments. Some doors require this.
2)Was this a power window setup, if so, you have to notch the power setup to add the extra "V", I have never cut the bottom stop. E
3)never had this happen, did you verify that they scrapers are flush to the trim when they were installed?
4)Scrapers with clips are coming out and will eliminate the possibility of #3, in addition the video install will show how customers can add clips to the scrapers.

Re: One Piece Window Conversion Kit for '67-'72 GM Trucks

Why not post some detailed videos addressing any/all issues. This would greatly help sales. All the videos I've seen seemed incomplete and were of doors not even on the truck, and were not very detailed. If there have been improvements please show us. The "kit" Rob got from one piece products was far from making an easy operating window. We followed the instructions exactly and even called the guy who makes them as we were installing them to be sure we were doing everything as he suggest. Again, If there has been improvements, show some videos of operating windows installed on a truck ready for the road. Power windows would be even better.

thanks.....eb
