Rear slider gasket

Bill - where does the motor go on those? Vertical in the cab corner, horizontal on the floor beneath the window, or?

Thought I would try to keep this all in one thread, but as an FYI I wanted to confirm something for the next person, especially since both Steele and Rubber the Right Way have updated/changed their websites to be less specific/informative.

I haven't installed it yet, but it appears the master weather-strip kit from RTRW for 1980-86 Ford Trucks will NOT kit a rear factory slider from 1980 or 1981 with the aluminum frame (I expected this). I am making an assumption that the wide gap faces outward into the cab frame with the longer lip on the exterior. this means the inward facing slit/gap is for the window, and is barely thinker than a normal pane of glass.

I may be eating my words. I stopped by the shop to drop off my weatherstrip and they already popped off the rear window. I looked at the factory slider and the outward aluminum perimeter pinches into a thin groove.....the approximate thickness of a pane of glass! So i'm not sure what the deal is with the thicker-edged factory slider

Carry on...

Forgot to grab this photo the other day.
Here is one from a later year that uses the thicker groove:

Yup, same as both of my 1995 and 1996 factory SRW.
