Brothers one piece windows...

Anyone using the Brothers one piece window kit? If so... how do you like? Rattles or leaks? Over all performance?

Thanks

Re: Brothers one piece windows...

I am not sure if they have changed them over the years I put a set in my truck back in 2002 ??? anyways they looked cool were a pain to keep in the tracks if you were on the hwy and wanted them to roll up I had to guide the glass by hand. they were sealed nice no wind noise

I didn't realize how nice it is to have factory wing windows till I built the 2nd truck and kept the wing windows. The 1 piece windows makes the wind pound the side of your head on the hwy as well.

bottom line they look cool and for a cruiser once in while there fine as a daily driver i wouldn't use them again.

I appreciate that.. there's a new set on craigs list I was considering buying. I think Ill pass and just stick with the wing window.

That would be the good old 2V-65 a/c design. It was patented but never copied and added to the SPID.

Re: Brothers one piece windows...

I put mine in many years ago but I agree 100% with Mario. My truck is no longer a daily driver, and the windows are still a pain. They really only work well fully up or down, and if you try to roll it up while driving you have to hold it in the channel to roll it up otherwise it flops around. I plan on putting the stock vent windows back in mine eventually.
