you arnt gonna swap out out that slider for a windowless one? now is the time to do it... unless of course you like the window

I don't know about removing the window in the slider...It sure is handy at a lot of intersections and what not. I think a person should cover up the glass with cardboard or something and drive around a bit before removing the glass.
I know I would be at a disadvantage if my van didn't have the slider glass.

Hey Burned, just out of curiousity, what rims are those?

I remember when my ride looked like that. I was so glad when the paint was finally under way! Can't wait to see the finished product.
As for the windowless door, I'm pretty grateful for mine, and sometimes wish I had one on the driver's side. I love the look of fewer windows, but it makes for more challenging backing up and lane changes. Especially when people like to ride in my blind spot to read the back of my van. ](*,)

go windowless...Its the only way to go with a cargo.....
Driving is easy & simple with a windowless slider...Just allot of folks dont know how to drive with a windowless slider :-({|=

hmmm.. do a motorized slider. That way you can open it when you need to see, or throw something at a stupid driver in your blind spot..

(just kidding people)

I kind of like having the window in mine, but, will be going without it in the next couple weeks. That's when the sub enclosure is being put in. Going to pick up new seats today, hopefully he has a non windowed slider also so I can practice driving like that. Shouldn't be too bad though, I haven't seen out anything but the windshield and door windows, in the Beretta, for about a year now.

The good General gave you driver and passenger side mirrors for a reason.... windows are for suckers
