This summer I'm going to do this to my ranger, powered rear window. Have you noticed on the Toyota tundra’s how the entire rear window can electronically go down and up. I just remembered that the ford explorer sport treks do that too but it’s just the middle of the windows that’s about twice the size of our little rear-sliding window. I wonder if that explorer's window is the same size as ours so the mod wont be as difficult as trying to make an entire solid rear window go up/down. I don't care about having to chop up that back wall on the inside of the cab because I would just have a custom subwoofer box built to cover it all. Anybody let me know if you have already looked into this and what you have concluded. Thanks!

 

There were vertical power rear window kits for some F-series but I haven't seen one for a Ranger.

THIS is the closest thing I've found - a powered slider for a 98+ 4-door S/C. $409 shipped .

 

I can't see how it'd be worth the effort to chop it up. There's always so much cooler stuff to do.

 

there is cooler stuff to do but i'm adding this one to the list, why not?

 

thanks bob, i want somethin that goes up and down instead and i wanna go custom and be the only ranger with the entire solid lookin glass window that goes up and down haha

 

i think that would be cool if you could get a ST window to work.. doubt it'd fit initially but IMO i'd be worth the effort

 

don't some tacoma's do that?? is it only the double cab's??

 

honestly i don't know about the tacomas. but i didnt see a new double cab tacoma on the way home and noticed that it had a small sliding glass window the same size as the ranger's

 

what about sport trac rear windows they go up and down. needs some modification but probly doable

sorry bwester04 didnt see you said it already. id like to try it once i have more money

 

If you're looking for an assembly for moving it up and down, I know the 1988-1990 K5 Blazers have a pretty strong and compact motor (they have it fit in the tailgate). You could probably find those all day in a junk yard. Simple wiring too. Are you going to have some kind of custom seals or just get some more like you have and not put the adhesive on it? Definitely keeping tabs on this one, always wanted to have a slider window but never thought much into it.

 

Bronco's had power rear windows, you might be able to retrofit the motor and wires, but you'll have to fab your own assembly, track and receiving weather stripping.
