does any one have these? do you like them? and my main question what if one gets broken can you but just a replacement glass ???
-
I think Chris has a set. I personally like the look of the vent window and would be worried about the same thing if one broke.
-
I have a kit and I haven't installed them yet. I will be getting another set also.
I have sold a number of them and I haven't had a problem except for one customer that wanted to return them because "there is wind noise". 8 months after he installed them.
If one gets broken, a replacement is available.
-
yea i like the the look of the vent also but im about to buy new doors when i do the paint on my truck and the thought of having all new componets and seals is nice plus having something different is always cool too..
chris what is the price on just one replacement window?

I have no idea. It would only be a guess.
-
i like the look of the one piece window. it looks cleaner to me. i just dont have the money for that now. lol
-
I like the one piece look. My race truck has one-piece windows and I really like it. It's one of those things that doesn't stand out right away, but when people notice it, they are like "hey that's cool". It's definately different and I agree it gives a cleaner look. I think you should go for it.
-
well i want to but now im looking at full fiberglass cabs on us body so it will be a little while before i invest in the windows
-
Oh yeah, them cabs are nice. I want one too.
-
Wish we could see a few good pics of a truck that had them installed.

That is rather nice. But i would have two concerns with this.
1. Does it take to much away from that "Old iron" feel that these trucks have? Single windows tend to be a newer truck thing.
2. You also gotta consider replacement, as that other member pointed out. Stuff happens, and sometimes windows get broke. I wouldn't begin to know where to look for replacements, other than the seller/manufacturer of the kit. And once you get a little monopoly (of sorts) going on it, you can pretty much charge what you want for it. My guess would be somewhere in the $350-$400 range, which is of course way too high. As opposed to just going with the security of keeping the stock setup. Now if we could see a price on a replacement window, that would clear this up.

The glass is the most expensive piece of this kit, the kit is $700, the glass is most likely going to be $200-250. If one is broken there is replacements availible and yes, you HAVE to get it from the manufacturer of the kit as the glass is Patented. The current glass is $100 for a replacement so...
If you are balking on the possibility of replacement and the cost of, then I would think the kit isn't for you.

i love the way these look. going to get them when i repaint my truck because at some point someone rtv'd my vent windows shut instead of replacing the seals. :(

Ugh. Someone did that to mine too. I am going to have fun getting it all off and then replacing everything. ::)
