Overcoming the rear window limiters?

[Hoesgottaeat2]

Wasn't sure where I should have posted this. Interior section or Exterior section? All depends on whether you're looking at the window from the inside or outside I guess.

The rear windows have some type of limiters that prevent the window from rolling all the way down as you can see in the pic. Can this be overcome without getting too involved? I want to have these windows roll all the way down. I don't care if the kids fall out lol.

Stretch the body so you can put 2 front doors in the back moving the wheels rearward, or get a fold up glass.

I would wager there is a cable stop of some sort. My 2007 yukon go halfway down, my 2017 go all the way down. They are all the short wheelbase ones. I'd say pull the door panel off and have a gander at the mechanism

It's funny how many people hae asked this same question over the years and never think of the fact that the wheel well is in the way and is the reason for the window only rolling down half way lol

Well, back to the time machine I guess. Looks like I'll just have to take it to the guy that did my DeLoreon. He's good with doors. 88mph here I come! That's not me of course. I wear a black hat, black sweatshirt and beard...always lol.

But thanks guys. It never did dawn on me the forwardness of the wheel wells. The last (3) trucks of this generation I've had were Suburbans, which do not share that detail.

Those windows go down further then that factory, they are just a couple inches up from bottom.

Does the power door locks work properly, I've seen multiple obs suvs do that and it's always been the door lock actuator rivets which are aluminum break and the way it falls its keeps the glass from going down

It’s definitely worth me looking into that at some point.
