Question vent less windows

Anyone tried to put the one piece door window kit in there truck? how do you like it and do you think it would work in my blazer. I do not want to buy the kit and than find out later that the window will not stay in place. Btw I do NOT have the hard top on the blazer.

I was told by MotherTruckers that the one piece window does not fit the Blazer.I also heard that there was a few bugs in the kit,I think there was some posts here with regards to them.

DON'T DO IT!!! I installed the Brother's kit in my truck, and chances are, that I might toss the kit and go back to stock!!! Just forget about the whole idea. You'll be glad you did!!!

Sorry man, but we can't go back to stock windows because you have to butcher the doors.

Talked to a guy in PF that had the one peice glass.His looked great but he claimed he had major amounts of time and effort in making the windows work without rattling in the tracks.Big Orange was parked next to him and probably got a better I dea of what it took but I didn't think it would be worth the trouble for a daily driver or anything less than a custom that was pretty extensively modded.

72chevylwb, I didn't have to butcher my doors. Just cut the little brace that goes where the vent window pillar is, but they say half the time that thing is broken anyway. Other than that I'll just have to redrill the holes the the front pillar, that's all. If you butcher your doors, then you're not doing it right. You do have to butcher the vent window assemblies, but there's plenty of those. Maybe I'll try contacting Brother's one more time for some tips before I take the glass to the shooting range!

I meant that tab that goes across. Also is the rubber just barely contacting the glass on your truck to let the water run inside? Mine is and they put the bend in the wrong spot every time so you have to make your own bend so it fits the curve.
