there are offsets in the panel styles and how the reg hooks up power to manual...had to open the holes a little and used custom fasteners.

so the glass will fit the only problem is how it mounts to the window regulator? i have manual crank windows. do you have any pics of what you modified?

no....not a two minute deal......have to pull the armrest and crank and handle insert...i gawked down from the top with a light and i cant see much.

i plan on new regulators track and seals this year....so that would be when i would make pics....unless i blow another window out first....

but i have 92 windows in 85 doors on my 88 ranger with mangled cab.

I put the vent/wing windows from a 85 bronco ii in my 89 ranger, which fit like a glove, btw. All I had to do was drill out a hole to secure it, but lo and behold, there was a dimple in the metal exactly where the hole needed to be. All I had to do was cut away a bit of the door skin to accommodate the wings. When I got the new glass for the roll up, it fit in perfectly. The holes lined up with my original manual crank.

All that to say, I agree with RonD!
