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

Hey all I will make my kit compatable with garrets bracket to help out the community also may do a bracketless kit to save you guys money who bought one already

 

Just waiting on design schematics.

 

Any progress on this?

 

last i talked to him he said he was dealing with family issues

 

Lots of great info in this thread, some posted by BenWA, some by others. I've an idea or two of my own for securing the cable ends and tensioning the cables. It's important to know that cable housings are not all the same, compression less housings will stiffen the cable runs and reduce the overall tension required. Cable stops at each end of straight runs will dramatically reduce housing compression and provide locations for cable adjusters. Cable sleeves can run the full length protecting the cables from accumulated dust which leads to wear and friction. This idea has nowhere near reached its full potential. Look at each piece/part and there's still ways to improve or simplify fit or function.

 

What's the update on this @atriant, Mine's a third gen, but not one with the automatic sliding window, mines' 2016 which didn't have that accommodation.

 

I haven't heard from him in months...

 

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the installation guide for this by chance, that they could hook me up with?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it! It was a few posts down.

Gonna work on 2017 Access Cab too ?

 

I heard from a couple members that it did

 

Psyched !

 

Has anyone tried to put the motor in the head liner?

 

I'd like to see pics if you do. Still haven't installed mine. Only had the shit to do it for a year now.

 

Can you link me to where you got all the parts in your kit? Since you are no longer selling them

 

The OP has not been on TW for years??? The other member who was going to produce a "kit" has disappeared as well. There is enough information in this thread to get you on your way to making this work. As far as I know, no one has really given a step by step, buy these parts, do these mods and you will have a kit that works tutorial. If and when I ever get to the point where I tackle this mod I plan on making such a tutorial but then again, I will probably fall victim to the same curse others have and will never actually produce a parts list and write-up.

 

I have a sienna switch and two motors in my mod pile waiting on time and motivation. I think one of the road blocks is worrying over how much time the cabass and bed will be naked while I'm fiddling my way through it. That and getting the Bussman installed so it actually goes whrr, whrr, open, open(and just as importantly, close, close).

 

I just did my headlight retrofit I've had parts for 3 years.. Lol

 

Anyone got a rear sliding window kit for sale
