To make a short story long, I could never understand why RCSB's were never available with some sort of sliding window. I tried optioning my truck with one but was told NO. So when a clapped out ex-construction supervisor's truck hit the Kenny-U-Pull lot, I dragged my old man out to the yard to cut this sucker out.![gmc-sierra1500-2015-9308822_back.webp gmc-sierra1500-2015-9308822_back.webp](https://cgm-8d27.kxcdn.com/data/attachments/2/2278-a6f7d5c10e596100daf57644a07c5ed1.jpg?hash=eiXr4rJBkD)
Armed with a vision, and a Princess Auto (Harbor Freight, but with maple syrup) cable and T-handle window removal tool, we set off on our quest.
SUCCESS - NOTE: Grab the overhead console panel that contains the factory switch, and keep the factory harness pigtail on the motor as well.

Next step was to prep my truck.
I carefully removed the seats, B pillar covers, trim on the rear wall, carpet, and sound deadening.
The key to this was having a buddy of mine come and remove the old glass with a cold knife. Why a buddy? He's the 2nd generation owner of a glass shop, and has been doing this type of work for as long as he could hold a cold knife. Otherwise, I would really suggest leaving this next part to a professional. NO WAY could I have done as nice of a job.

I mounted the window with rivnuts to finalize the "mechanical" install
