Club cab windows

Anyone ever replace their pop out windows with fixed windows? May not be possible and gaskets may not be available. Just wondering.

May I ask why you wouldn't want to have the ability to open them up? Fixed club cab windows were never an option. I do believe it would be possible to find some window channel the thickness of the glass and make it work. The factory glasses have a metal ring around them so that would have to be removed for a tight leak proof seal. But then again the factory glass also has the holes in the for the hinge so replacement glass being a must.

I am on the same train with freight train.
All the club cabs I have had have had the pop out windows, which seems like a great thing to have the option to do.
What would the draw be to making them be sealed all the time?

I agree it seems like a great thing excpet for the rust holes under them. There is a set on ebay so I thought I would ask but I didn't know if they would just cross over.
