BenWA's 2005+ Power Sliding Rear Window Quick Install Kit

Ah ok. I read the whole thread but very quickly, mainly just looking for pictures, while at work haha. Thanks!

 

Check out post #1430. The member paid $70 to get the bracket made.

 

$70 ain't bad in all honesty. I suspect Calgary will be cheaper because of all the fab shops closing down. BenWa are you cool if I try to negoiate a group deal to get a few fab' up at once?

 

I think those that are interested should crowd source this and all try to get a fab quote for say 25 pieces and see where we are. I'll try to get a quote here and post.

 

@BenWA are you comfortable releasing the rights/inside info to this? People keep asking.

 

Does someone know, for this what's the difference between gen 2 and gen 1?

 

After careful consideration this seems way easier

It likely is easier but has a couple of drawbacks (noisy & slow)... But if you are okay with that then it would be a quicker mod.

 

i am not smart enough to make one... but i would like to buy one of these kits

 

Does anyone know where to get those 90 degree plastic pieces for the cables?

 

You can only get that piece if you get the actuator from a Honda Rdigline.

 

Perfect thank you

 

The Impala motor I used came with a similar piece, but I couldn't find a secure way to mount it so I ended up scrapping it and making my own.

 

I think I may go with the impala motor since my local scrap yard sells it for $10. Now I just need to find out who can make the window bracket for me. Does anyone have a good picture of how the cables attach to the bracket? I looked at the design sheet for the bracket but couldn't really tell

 

From what I could tell of the drawing BenWa provided there is a clearance hole in each end of the bracket that the cable slips into and then an intersecting threaded hole that you use a set screw to lock the cable in place.

 

So I've been gathering the parts for this mod, searching for the best prices online. Thanks to @Up2NoGood for the part #'s for the switch and connector from a Tundra.

@braves73 mention why not just get the actuator that's being use on a double cab Tundra. I'll take a plunge at it and I'm going to go this route. Looking at the Window Actuator #8, I like the fact that I might not have to modify it to work, like what I had to do with the Ridgeline actuator when I did the mod on my 08 AC. But can't say for certain till I get one in hand. Fyi the actuator doesn't include a motor. That would be #9, which is ridiculously priced up the a** just for that part. So stay tuned for the long run haha.

 

So, we build a new bracket. It sits in a channel. The glass sits on the new bracket. The bracket slides back and forth.
Is all this correct?
Somethings wrong
Thanx

 

The glass doesn't sit on the bracket. Bracket fits around the glass.

 

Much better... The drawing I have shows a mislabeled view.
Thx
