That might explain whiy it fell off in the first place. Or it has fallen off before and someone didn't put it all back together.

I'd be more intersted in find that kit to go to one piece glass and do away with the vent window all together. The Tan and White lowered truck with white bumpers on this forum has 1 piece glass and I like it.

I like the "one piece window" look but I love my vent windows at the same time! On chilly days they are perfect for letting a nice cool breeze in (with the rear window slid open) when other wise it'd be too chilly to open the window. I have my vent windows open probably 80% of the time year around when I'm driving and that might be under estimating it:D

I used to be the same way, then I got into buying a new truck every year since 93 and enjoed the quiet, until the big D, now broke and back into SBodies. Alot more fun, and much cheap, but I think I could go with the single glass now.

I credit the wing windows for me not getting heat stroke last summer driving my truck through Las Vegas. Next best thing to air conditioning is fast moving hot air blown in your cab.:)

That's a fact and vent windows will sure do that. When no AC, even the hot moving air will cool you down. In one of my trucks that the AC wasn't hooked up yet, my son says, turn the AC on Dad. So I rolled down the roll ups, and said that is on low, you need more, he said yes, so I opened the back slider and said that is medium. Then he just had to ask as he finally started laughing and realized I didn't have AC, so what is high? And I opened my vent glass and told him to open his, and said, now that is on high. He was 14, so he gotta helluva laugh out of it.

WooWeee, I'd love to too, at least on one or 2 of my trucks, but at that price, yeah it can wait though too. LMAO. At least its available. That has to got to be for glass the felts and all I'd think. Does it include regulators too or can you use the OEM regulators?

F that. Wing windows should have never been phased out in the first place.
