I took my truck apart this weekend and I'm getting ready to start the bodywork. My doors had the triangle vent windows and I want to change them to the one piece window. Is this a direct swap??? I have the one piece glass and regulator. Has anyone done this swap? Does the two braces under the vent window need to be cut out???

 

Its a straight swap, but you will need to cut out the frame for the quater window

 

You might want to double check that, I agree you do have to remove that little mount for the quarter glass up inside the top. Though you'll need to get the glass run channels as well. The 2 are different, the 2 piece window runs down the frame on the quarter glass, & the single glass run channel runs down the front of the door.

 

I got all the parts including the rubber for the channels and the channels. I just wanted to make sure if there was anything else that needed modification.

 

Sorry bout that, I didnt know you had the channels.

 

I did that swap on ever 84-88 I've ever owned. Looks allot newer and cleaner

 

I agree, it has a cleaner look. I also hate the side mirror location with the vent glass. I'm gonna move mines forward.

 

I feel like the idiot here, I did the total opposite, i swapped my single for the 2 piece, but i added 4 runner mirrors to go with the rest of the runner stuff i have on my truck. Though its a mod that very little people have here in Guam, so i did it to be different.

 

i think the vent windows just make me more unique since everyone has them 1 piece windows.
anyways, im looking foward to mounting my mirrors on my fenders... like those 240Z's and stuff

 

Here's my swap direct bolt in, need the regular the lil corner piece that's all,





I'm going use the other door for another yota I'm building,

 

...And I too wish my 88 had vent windows !! Different strokes

 

I still have all the pieces for the vent window, you can have them,it's a direct bolt in,

 

just a quick question. where'd you get your window track rubbers and the door and window seal rubbers from? i would go toyota but wanting to know if there is a cheaper alternative.

 

I went from wing window to full using complete doors from a 4-Runner same year (84-88), to get power windows -mirrors & locks( deleted the locks)!

 

Hello workaholic I have a 93 with vent window do u think a 90to 94 runner 1 piece glass power window system would fit in mine

the opposite conversion, so read it backwards?

 

K thanks I read some part where they were saying something about the pickup and runners doors and glass being different is that so?

 

oh really? i don't know about the second gens, but i have heard the difference is only the 4 door runners have shorter doors, but the 2 door runners have doors the same size as pickups.


but i have never worked with 4runners, that is only what i remember reading a few places.
