I've got the electric rear slider. Mine squeaks as well when opening and closing. It has actually stopped working at times. Had the local dealership look at it, and they just greased the hell out of it. Still squeaks! It HAS come in handy when transporting long lumber and moulding though!

It's a must have in my opinion...
I, personally, installed one on my 2001 and knew that my 05' would have it as well. I use it absolutely all the time and have never had any issues with it.
It is great to have on those slightly cool days when you can pop the moon roof and open the rear glass... the flow of air is great through the compartment -- not too much, not too little.
Like I said, in my book, it's a must have!

based on opinions, I could assume that its worth $300? (not installed)
I'm not too worried about the reach, based on the short cab, this is the only truck i've had that doesn't have a rear slider, and I haven't noticed that I want to open it. the two side windows are plenty, but if it's a good deal, i would hate to lose it.

I have it. Window doesn't squeak, but the cables rattle around a little, especially when it's cold out. Love it otherwise. Not sure I woulda ordered one for 300 but it was already on mine. In a Screw, you just can't reach over and open it. With the moonroof, it's pretty much mandatory to open something when the roof is open, so the slider in the back is perfect.

There are some 'installed' pics in my gallery (click on the little camera icon up and to the right under my screen name). It is a two man job as the window was bulky and difficult to remove.
Not sure if they still have them but, www.truckininstyle.com is a great source for this item. You'll see a pic of my truck there but, I'm in no way associated with the site (ie: I make nothing by mentioning them)
He sells CR Laurence sliders so, you may also check there... CR is who made the 2001 to 2003 slider for Ford (and some earlier I believe as well)... they don't make the 04+... not sure who does but, it's not them.
