In all fairness I had to do that with some siding I bought, but it also went the full length of the bed. Actually worked out perfectly with the window opening.

I did something similar with lumber and pvc. But it went from end of bed, through small window, and out the freedom top. Safely secured BTW. And I drive a sport, so only 44k ??

Be careful hauling long items through the open slider window as you don't want to hit a bump & stress the glass, which could blow that tempered glass all over the place.
Might end up being a very costly trip to the lumber yard.

Just had mine replaced, (luckily under warranty) for the dreaded rear window leak.
The invoice showed the normal replacement cost for that slider window assy. runs well over $1,200.00!

You're saying that driving with the rear window slid open will stress and break the glass? Just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Thanks

Oh, it was definitely one of us. Plenty of dumbasses here, like myself. But I wouldn't admit to it....

I've done shit like that with my Power Wagon. 8ft bed with a cap that has a slider too. Open up both sliders. And put 12ft boards, trim or pipe through.

No.
The item you are hauling (lumber, pipe, etc.) through & resting on the bottom of the slider window opening could be the recipe for disaster.

I hauled a 32 foot ladder secured underneath a Hertz truck. It worked out perfectly with the exception of a few eyebrows.

I would be careful with that glass however.

Gotcha thanks, that's what I thought. Appreciate the heads up, I figured the siding pieces I had in there were pretty safe.

, saw the thread title and thought this was going to be another "adventures at the boat ramp" thread.

Tempered glass is stupid strong.................if struck straight on normal to the flat surface. It's achilles heal is striking it on the edges. It will blow apart when struck there with enough force.

Don't hate those who innovate.

Most places, you are suppose to have red flags on projecting loads past the bed. This guy probably did that to avoid the issue.

I have had to do this once with baseboards and they were not resting like this they want from corner to corner through the window
