the only reason anyone has ever wanted to do this, is people who own true
adventurewagens. (AW's came with GL slider windows, and the latches are blocked
by the AW cabinets, so a pass. side westy slider on the drivers side of a AW
allows you to actually open the window)

chris, IIRC, you have a westy..just with a AW top.
 in your case, this mod would be pointless since you dont have the AW
interior..
