You love your truck, but want the open-air freedom of a fully removable rear window. But when it comes to aftermarket modifications, there is always a lingering fear: Am I going to have to cut into my cab?
With the Breezer Window, the answer is a simple NO. And you can install a Breezer Window yourself - no cutting or drilling required on most models. We keep installation incredibly straightforward. Upgrading your truck shouldn't require a blowtorch, a reciprocating saw, or an engineering degree.
Our window features a simple, 1-hour install with zero cutting* and zero drilling. Here is everything you need to know about how the Breezer Window fits seamlessly into your truck.
*Minor interior plastic trimming may be required on a few models.
The Factory Fit Advantage
The secret to our simple installation is that the Breezer is installed exactly like a factory window.
If you look at your stock truck window right now, you’ll notice a painted black perimeter that is about 2 inches wide. This border exists to hide the edge of the truck’s headliner and interior plastic trim. The Breezer frame perfectly mimics this 2-inch perimeter. Not only does it seamlessly hide your truck's interior edges, but it also houses our venturi-sealed weatherstrip.
Bonus for Camper Shell or Truck Cap Owners: That frame also serves as the perfect surface area for our patented Breezer BootLink System to attach, creating a watertight connection between your cab and your cap!
High-Level Installation: Gasket vs. Polyurethane
Because the Breezer installs just like a stock window, the method you use depends entirely on the year and make of your truck. Any professional auto glass installer is already fully trained to handle this, but if you're taking the DIY route, here is a high-level look at the two standard methods:
Method 1: Gasket-Style Installation (Common on Older Trucks) Many older trucks utilize a thick rubber gasket to hold the rear glass in place.
- Remove the Old Glass: Carefully push the old glass and gasket out from the inside of the cab.
- Seat the Breezer: Wrap the factory gasket around your new Breezer frame.
- The Rope Trick: Insert a piece of rope or heavy cord into the groove of the rubber gasket. Press the window up against the truck's opening from the outside, and carefully pull the rope from the inside. This smoothly pulls the rubber lip over the metal edge of the cab, locking the Breezer Window perfectly into place.
Method 2: Polyurethane Adhesive Installation (Common on Newer Trucks) Modern trucks typically use a strong automotive window polyurethane adhesive to bond the glass directly to the cab.
- Remove the Old Glass: Cut through the existing urethane seal (using a cutout wire/line or specialized knife) and lift the stock window away. Trim down the remaining old adhesive so it's relatively flat.
- Prep and Prime: Clean the truck's pinch weld and apply an automotive glass primer to ensure a perfect bond.
- Apply and Press: Lay an even bead of the recommended high-quality automotive urethane windshield adhesive around the perimeter. Press your new Breezer Window firmly into place, secure it with automotive tape while the urethane cures, and you're done!
Pop the Latches and Breathe the Fresh Air
Once the frame is installed, how do you actually use it? It couldn't be easier.
The Breezer's patented latch system is accessible right from the inside of your cab. When you want to let air in, simply release the secure latches, lift the DOT-certified tempered safety glass out of the frame, and safely stow it. You get a massive, fully open space that standard sliding windows can't match.
