I have pop out windows in all my doors, just not the 2 I bought from Phoenix. And i just sold 2 chrome pop outs, and the rusty doors. Now I just need to find 2 windows I took out of the other 2 rusty doors. They might be buried under the 6-8 inches of snow we now have...aaaaarg. | | | Re: Tutorial: Switching from fixed to opening windows | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 1,317 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 1,317 | no problem for me, I live in a trailer: spares go under the house lol

I will thik abou the video for future endeavors though The trick Ive found tinting is to use distilled water with your soap on a warm not breezy day. Real fine steel wool and Ammonia Windex to clean the glass first too. Also tack cloth.

Holes were provided By Dodge and gaskets pulled right out of the donor and mine pushed right out. One thing about Dodge they made everything very easy about swapping parts They were all fitted with holes for the full upgrade and bought with options paid for. so it was easy to upgrade , because all the drilling and punching was already done. Gaskets fit on the same window openings. it was all great, I still have my old flip out rear glass, could not rid myself of them as they had a lot of old stickers from my first evants
