I want to install a double pane rear slider window to make a wider pass through to the camper shell in my 92 super cab. LMC truck has a double panel slider that comes pre-tinted: https://www.lmctruck.com/1983-11-ford/fr-1983-11-sliding-rear-window

Only thing is, they are saying that the super cab model has to be replaced with a urethane adhesive.... now I have removed the rear window and replaced the seal once and it was the bolt on type.

I am curious - does anyone know if there really is a difference between the mounting set up of the super and std cabs for this 2nd gen body style? If I have the bolt in style I should be able to replace it with a new double slider that is bolt in regardless if the catalog claims that super cabs never came with bolt in style windows? Honestly I just looking for reassurance on this I guess lol, price is a driving factor:

Urethane Mount Window = $414
Bolt-in style window = $ 219.99

Thanks for any information!

Can you provide a pic of both the inside and outside of your back window? I just wanted to verify something.

Typically an OE window was usually urethaned in a depressed channel from the factory. If it is a slider that aftermarket, I can recall from back in the day of glass replacement there being some "clam-shell" versions that would screw together tho halves.

Ideally they both may work on the same "pinch weld" like framework, but the one they are offering requires a heated tube of 3M Urethane and a little trick or two in laying it to mount it in the same channel like the OEM
