After my successful puddle light install on my XLT, I decided my next project will be figuring out a power sliding rear window. I haven’t completed this yet but I purchased a linear actuator with a wireless remote off of amazon and plan to do a quick write up for anyone interested. I included what I ordered in the links below. If anyone has any input on this, I’d appreciate any knowledge.
I haven’t figured out exactly how to attach it to the window itself. I am considering a small wooden peg that I plan to shave down and likely glue to the lower part of the window. Times like this I really wish I had a 3d printer!
As far as power goes, it looks to be pretty simple. I already have a power wire for the small amp and subs I put behind the rear seat so I’m planning to piggy back off of that.
As far as the manual locking mechanism on the window, I’m planning to obviously remove that. I’m not concerned for security on that window so personally, that’s not an issue. I’m thinking the motor itself will provide enough resistance to make it difficult to slide back anyways.
