transformer Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 yes you did. Sorry about that. I was actually kind of in the middle of doing that when I posted it real quick. my dad ended up actually finding some thick plexi-glass and putting silicone caulking around it to weather proof it. Kind of lame I know but it seems to work alright. all I need is some trim and it'll look good as new. Also I need to find a back seat. yep yep. Either way it's all good.

103west43rd Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Glad it worked out. That is what counts. If I find an idea about trim, I will let you know. Keep coming back to the Forum, plenty of interesting ideas floating around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stone Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 i heard that the panels are also spot welded in each corner to let the glue set? the local shop wants 900 to do this. but from what i found, glass is under 150.00, and if you can use a hot knife, its just installing that would take time?

bvz2000 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove the panels on the sliding doors of an xlt van so I can install windows. Any info is helpful Did you ever follow through on swapping in the windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckethead Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 FYI Transit people: 2015 XLT LWB Cargo Van Ordered the passenger slider glass from the dealership: $290 plus tax. Safelite charged me $60 to put it in, said it was easy ( no spot welds) and the removed panel is undamaged. Backing up from 90 degrees into traffic is a lot less stressful.

jrm223 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Whatever shop said that they're spot-welded is trying to screw you over for more money. You can't spot-weld plastic/composite, which is what the panel is made from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrygibbons67 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 No one has answered the title of this thread, am looking for info on how do you remove/replace a sliding door on a TC. Can get one with glass for under 400$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 It just bolted to the rail supports. Shouldn’t be too difficult. Check the cabling first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The electrics are the only issue. If the door is from a Van the harness should be the same, If the door is off a wagon there will be extra wiring for the window and sound system.

mrtn Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 There’s a sliding door power window in the wagon? I thought it’s only for the locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Wouldn't be very useful as a wagon if you couldn't roll the back windows down . . . . would it? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 My 2012 wagon’s sliding door windows are fixed and the rear quarter windows crack open from the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The wagon has power windows, the Van glass option is fixed. I you were going to use the wagon door for a van you could live with a non operating window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
