My question is as you know if you have one there is only about 8" of space in the window. So does anyone have any info ,pics ,drawings of how they put these in . I am concerned about the holes in the door placement, size . Also what they covered the holes with or was hole door covered.Thanks you guys are great

Re: Power windows

Hi Jim, It would help us if you tell us what year truck you have, and show a picture of what power window setup you bought.

Re: Power windows

Is it a flat window kit or the regular universal power window kit that uses spline adapters in place of the window crank to make the windows roll up & down?
