Re: WARNING: RANT! #!*%’g Aftermarket Side Windows & Wings

Thanks all you guys for the comments. I’ve thought about all your suggestions since yesterday. I’m going to take my vent window assemblies over to The Truck Shop this morning to compare them and see if there is a significant difference. And of course to ask if I can return them after I try to install them if they’re way off too.

I suppose changing the tab locations might work IF I can install the side window glass, get everything working and THEN decide where to put the tabs. Spot welding them would be best for that. Less chance to break the glass I guess.

As for the paint, now that I’ve F’d it up that ship has sailed. It would have to be feathered out and base coat/clear coated but AFTER the windows are installed and all done so nothing gets disturbed again.
