    Not entirely sure what you are trying to say here... but if you are asking where you can order the bracket, well the answer is you might not be able to get one. Benwa only made a few of them, and i believe he has sold them all. You can try contacting him or use the diagram that was posted earlier to have one made yourself. If you are lucky maybe somebody has one that they are willing to sell.

    So is he still making these or can I pay someone to put a kit together for me now? The PM icon next to his name is gone for me.

    Matt is no longer making the kits. He tried to start selling them, but from what I know the business did not work out, so it was not worth it for him to continue. He has VERY graciously shared most of the instructions with us so that we can do the mod ourselves, for our own vehicles, but as he stated, he just wants no one to steal his idea (intellectual property) for profit or to sell on their own. He had some parts left from his initial run, but the last I heard is that he is out of parts to sell.
    Trust me, a lot of guys tried to help him work this out to get a viable product to market, but it just wasn't happening. It is really a shame because I know he went to a LOT of trouble on this mod, and there are a LOT of guys wanting to do it. The best he could do for now was share the instructions, give us advice and let us know what parts are required for the mod. We are REALLY lucky that he did that for us.
    If you read back through this thread, you can definitely piece together enough info for an install, but beyond that it is up to you.
    Good luck bro.

    There are so many pages to read through. Did anyone ever get it to work for an AC?

    I did. It's been a long time since I've completed this mod. It's still working. All the info you need is in this thread. Try read from page 60 and on.

    Here's mine.

    Benwa, thanks for all the information you provided for this mod. I just completed mine and I am excited about it. Because I have two amps and a sub behind my read seat I decided to place the motor in the back under seat storage compartment. I riveted and glued the motor mount to the storage compartment and fished the cables up the sides to the rear window. It works great.

    I got most of my parts at Lowes, but the motor I got off of Amazon and paid 13 bucks. The most expensive part was the bracket. I paid a small machine shop to make me one which cost me $70.

    Again, thanks for all the information.

    Noel

    Thank you BenWa for making these kits in the first place.

    Thank you kauaibuilt for letting me buy the one you never installed, thank you.

    This thing is great, got everything all buttoned up and am waiting for the adhesive to cure all the way. Have moved it around on it's own power just to check direction and wiring. Just plain dig it.

    I've used my rear window more in the last week and a half than I have the whole life of the truck. Sweet.

    Did you guys come up with a final rear window latch-cancel, or did you stick with jamming something into the latch to keep it in its open position?

    This thread is fantastic - after reading this is the one thing I can't remember seeing answered. Thanks!
