word of advice...
make sure you get them done properly otherwise they LEEEEEEEEEEAK and... after a while the winding mechanism breaks because it has to hold up more glass than usual.

that said, if anyone has a winding mechanism for a drivers side door, let me know :P

pretty much every one piece window thing ive seen never looks good, the seal is never right where the rubber starts to curve upwards where the 1/4 vent window used to be.

You can get wider channels to support the glass too......

Its just my way of saying NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT DO IT !
but each to their own, personally i think quarter windows should be re introduced to the "modern car" some thing you dont see anymore.

Its a BIG job to fit them properly,,, making them seal etc etc

It usually takes about 8 hours per door if you know what yr doing, or be prepared to pay someone who does.

1/4 windows are much better.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
