So this project is moving along. I had the rear window glass installed in a shop yesterday . It took about 1 1/2 hours .
I bought the new sliding glass from a guy on eBay. It is original Mopar, and was $400. After I bought the glass I got worried that my standard cab would not have the correct mounting location for the motor, but luckily after taking the rear trim panel down, everything was there . It essentially looked just like the picture Rick posted earlier.
There was no wiring present under the overhead console in my standard cab. With Rick’s help, I found an overhead console on eBay that had the appropriate wiring, connector, and switch. I have routed the wiring for the motor the rear of the truck, and found switched power with ground in the cigarette lighter in the front floor console.
The switch is also lit when the panel lights are turned on, and there is a panel light connection on the headlight switch I am going to tap into.
Waiting on the repair kit that has the connector for the motor before I get everything running. Will try to post pictures showing locations,when I get the wiring done.
This project has grown into another project, as projects sometimes do. I’m going to lay down some dynamat below the back window, and on the B columns. Might as well while I have everything off
Big shout out to Rick for all the help and guidance he has provided. He has basically walked me through all the steps, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without his help
