Rear sliding window question - recommendations + chrome

[ckuske]

Does anybody know if this looks legit?  I'm starting to research replacement sliding rear windows.

I remember seeing some comments about aftermarket windows not fitting well.  Is there one that stands out as better than any other?  NOS seems hard to come by.  I know Rembrant (Cory) bought a window, but his thread doesn't note how happy he was with it.

Also, does this chrome look similar to what goes in the groove?  I haven't pulled my window out yet, so I don't have anything to compare it to.  Thanks!

The chrome strip looks fine.
It seems two splices (stainless covers) are the norm, but I used only one.

You want the plastic warm and pliable but not soft.
It's a fine line....

My CR Laurence slider came with plastic fillers in the lower corners.
Without these it would never seal right.

Thanks for the feedback, ArdWrknTrk.  Are you happy with your slider?

It's been a couple of years now, and yes I'm happy with it.

It came came with the metal DVL-2 latch, so no problems with the flimsy plastic latch of the stock Ford window.

It seems well sealed with the 'chrome' trim gasket.
I don't notice any moisture or wind noise in the cab when it is latched.

ETA: I have the dark tint, and visibility is fine.
