Default power rear window

just curious if anyone knows of any kits available that will convert my stationary rear window to a power window? I couldnt find much from google, just a kit with a power sliding panel, but i'd like the entire rear window to go up and down (like the full size broncos from the 90s). im positive i'll need to take the kit to a body shop for installation since this is definately beyond my skills. but it's a feature i'd put to good use and love to have on the upcoming hot summer nights here in socal. any info is much appreciated.

I know you could get a power rear window from the factory- but this is just moving the slider- not the whole rear window like you said. I'd imagine you could use the same button set-up used for the factory slider, but getting into moving the entire window up and down would take some skilled fabrication... I know the older toyota 4-runners rear window slid down all the way, maybe you could look into finding one of them at a junkyard and disassemble its tailgate and work off of that? or do the same thing with using broncos from the 90's? just an idea.


Would be a neat mod to see though.

well a buddy of mine did that to his regular cab ford which is almost identical to the rams and it cost him $1750!! because the seatbelt and all the safty stuff has to be cut away and relocated and reinforced. haha. but it looks tight!! o and by the way. he got his shop to order the ones off of the toyota tundra to get the motor and brackets for it. haha

im not sure about doing that. it would take a lot of time and money and the end product may not be worth it

thats true!! but ive always had the idea to do that and then in a regular cab have a sub box behind the seat with the subs facing towards the back wall...and have it connected to an accuator to have it rise up and blast out the back window when the window is down. but thats something they would do on pimp my ride! haha
