Re: Frankentruck

So it's been raining this morning and guess what, my back window is leaking. I don't know if it's from the slider or the gasket, or both. I struggled with the install for several hours, so I wouldn't be surprised if I accidentally tore the gasket in a couple spots.

I might be crazy, but I'm probably going to go back to the regular glass. The slider is neat, but harder to see out of through the rear view mirror and didn't give a drastic improvement of airflow through the cab like I was hoping for. I think if the opening was much larger, it would be better, but I'm not changing the size of the back window. I didn't break the glass when I made the swap, so I still have it if I decide to swap it back
