Frequently Asked Questions

• Do these windows still roll down and function normally? The look is the priority — they are aesthetic, not functional. Like all 1-piece kits they can rattle, whistle at speed, and don't seal water out as well as factory two-piece windows.
• Do I need any other parts to install them? Yes. You must replace your standard door check rods with cable check rods (P/N 9756, sold separately) to keep the window from striking the door pillar.
• Is the glass safety glass? Yes — the windows are tempered safety glass.

Installation

• Snap-in inside and outside scrapers mount into your door using the original clip holes — no glue required.
• You must replace your standard door check rods with cable check rods (P/N 9756, sold separately) to prevent the window from striking the door pillar.
• Vent wing windows are removed during the conversion — there is no factory replacement once done.
