Blazer fiberglass top window swap

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if the solid side glass and sliding side glass on the tops are interchangeable?

They are. I think the rubber should be the same for both, but I'm not 100%. Are you switching to the sliding or the solid? I know they make a sliding kit.

Thanks for the reply. I have access to a sliding window hard top but I prefer the look of the solid glass. My thoughts were I could possibly swap the sliding to solid glass.

They're the same size; I'm just not a hundred percent on the window rubber.

That's excellent, thanks for the info!

I think the rubber is different.

Have you ever driven a K5 with the slider windows? They offer SO much ventilation. The engineer that thought of putting vent windows in the rear was a very smart fella.

I've never driven a Blazer ever.

I'll have her in the driveway July 10th.

It's a dry weather only driver and I don't see myself ever putting the top on unless it's in the fall time. So not too concerned about the ventilation. But great point and not something that I even thought of!

The rear sliding windows are great.

When I ordered sliders for mine, I had to get new seals as they were different.

It used to be hot in the back (No A/C) even having the gate window down, but once the sliders were installed it was great. Well worth it!!!
