I have a 2012 ford f150 with a sliding back window, is it recommeded for this type of window and if so how difficult is it to cut to fit

Well this is our third one & if you are real careful it is easy to cut with a very sharp cutter. But I would make a template of the window first then lay it on the graphic & cut just wear the windows meet. You then will cut any extra off after you have it on the window. It is really beautiful! But we can't put ours on until late Spring when the weather warms up. Good Luck

As the other respondent said, the instructions were not that good. I had to deviate from them to install mine. Look it up in a search engine. There are YouTube installation videos. One shows a ford f150 install.

we don't know. the small dealer we purchased our used truck from installed it for us (opened the box and put it together in the parking lot). My wife stood there while he figured it out and installed it. I (the wife) don't recall there being a problem where he had to go get parts...sorry we cant help more. We now have to do our other window...lol

If the window is rectangular as shown is the picture the size won't matter. It will fit. But if it is wider at the back and narrows it will not stay on.( By wider I mean taller. )

You will need to purchase the rugged ridge 13308.40 window header. This is a frameless soft top so you will not need the factory frame. Your factory door surroundings will work. I have had no problems out of mine. Only thing I recommend is to install it when the tempature is above 70 degrees! I have had this top since December and I have had nothing but positive thoughts about it! Hope this helps you!

Hello,We are also looking at these blinds and was wondering about cutting to size, good to know it worked for you, do you think a fabric sealant would make it more secure? I need three blinds and 3 different sizes.M. Bell

In all honesty, I couldn't tell you. The window bracket has an additional sliding part to fit larger windows. But even the base part was too large for my window and I had to cut some of it off. Also the window bracket can be installed vertically for sliding windows.

It is not recommended in the instructions. Rolling the window down would probably peel it off.

I'm not sure about the 2014, mine is 2011 but I will say that the safety feature prevents my 2 front windows from going all the way up about 80% of the time. I followed all the instructions and the window is just too sensitive to accommodate these vent shades. I have to feather it up by toggling the power window switch on and off about 6-7 times for the last inch or two. If not, it will hit the vent shade and automatically go down. Not designed well for the 2011 F150.

It depends on what the "button" attached to your rearview mirror. The one that came with this kit is a horseshoe shape. To get onto my (dodge) truck I had to carefully twist off the stock button with a vice grip after super heating it with a high wattage hair dryer. It took patience and about five to six rounds of heating and twisting so as not to crack the window. Once the button twisted off, I allowed the windshield to cool then scraped off the remaining glue with a razor blade. I picked up a windshield rearview glue kit for $6 from an auto store and attached the new button to the windshield. Make sure you stick it in the right orientation the first time, because the glue is not forgiving. Good Luck! It depends on what the "button" attached to your rearview mirror.

You're always going to have problems with the back flapping partially when you remove the rear window. As long as you tighten the front down (and the midbow/support with the straps), you should be fine. It's just part of the design. Another problem I ran into that I found a solution for was the two rear side windows would act like parachutes and catch air, regardless of how well they were sealed into the doors when I began my journey. I took the two rear side window panels, and had a tailor sew velcro pile tape (the fuzzy portion) onto them where they meet the Bestop door frame and then I put Self-Adhesive 2" Industrial Strength Velcro hook tape on the actual door frame to seal it. No problems with the windows billowing since then. I hope this helps.

I just measured my window, and it measures 33 1/2 inches from the mounting flange edges. This unit was mounted into a wood frame and then trimmed out to finish the look. I believe that it was originally 34 inches, but the installer most likely cut 1/4 inch from each side of the mounting flange to make it fit properly. They would easily be trimmed with a good utility knife and a straight edge, or with a fine blade on a jigsaw. Depending on the what you are installing it into (wood/concrete), you may be able to trim the outside flanges to meet your needs. As for the quality of the window, it is good quality for the price, and I have had no issues whatsoever with the two windows I purchased.

I think that it will protrude enough that the sliding part won't be able to clear it when opening. Mine is put away now however so can't recall an exact measurement. It sounds forced and awkward to me as it is specifically intended for a small window opening. This is why it is relatively expensive compared to other units.

It could fit but, I'm not sure about your window clearance. I'd recommend you try the 5 1/4 size for a better fit.

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.

Hi, so I bought this for my son car, and it really does not fit the contour of the back window. If you don't mind replacing the tape every 3 months then this is for you.. Looks good on the car.
