All installed! Everything works like a champ! Thanks to all who have helped me on the way, you know who you are!!! I have posted the following pictures to show the holes and rivit nuts installed and where i put them for those who read this in the future. Now I just have to finish install my Sound Deading Material and reinstall the interior.... jeeze, i hope i remember how it all goes back in. See you on the next project. ~Freeman

I've done this and so have others, check out this thread:

Update for those who are following or find this at a later date in the future: Got the window installed! Bad news: the CR Lawerence Power Slider DID NOT fit. It stuck out by a good inch... Good news: the installer brought an OEM window with him! Installed great! Bad news: had to start buying all the extras to make it work and I couldn't get the Overhead Wire Harness because they dont have ANY! Good news:Miguel Olea is a genius and I took his advice, found one on Ebay. Bad news: it was 3 times more expensive ($165) Good news: it worked like a champ! Installed everything (fuse block, overhead console, motor mount) and a miracle happened... the window slider opened! Still have to secure the motor mount. Thinking about going with some rivet nuts sealed up with some polyurethane goop the window installer gave me. Thread in some bolts, also gooped up with polyurethane so water doesn't creep in through the bolt threads. Cut off the bolt heads and voila, threaded studs. Tighten down with nuts and factory install like a mofo! Side note: CarID didnt want to let me return the CR Lawerence Power Slider because it had been over a month since i bought it, but i told them i had to wait as long as i did due to not being able to get an appointment with the installer until a later date. They contacted CR Lawerence to see if they could 'allow' me to do it, and they did. However, they wanted me to send back in the orginal box, but that was damaged due to shipping and i had already thrown it away. So i had to make my own box (think about that, i had to make a box for a rear slider window... i wont go into that much detail regarding that). Just sent it in a couple days ago... will let you know if i get refunded my $800. Keep all informed to finish up this project. Thanks for all involved for their advice and encouragement. ~Freeman

Well, bummer news. PN: 84392225 out of stock across the USA. So I decided to just go with the CR Lawerence Power Slider. Oh well, it’s a cheaper way anyhow because I won’t have to buy all the factory items; wire harness, console trim, factory switch, etc... Will update more when it happens. ~Freeman

It has to do with the OnStar antenna. My coworker had to have a leak repaired and the stealership forgot to reconnect the wire harness... got the CAL display. Yesterday I unhooked mine and got the same message. ~Freeman

Update: So this is weird... I tried searching a 2018 Sierra and found that P/N: 84392225 does indeed support Sunroof and Power Slider! I rechecked for for a 2017 and the decription is different and says it does not support the Power Slider. So I'm just going to order it tonight and see what happens. Keep you updated ~Freeman

Howdy, all... the quest continues and need to consult the Oracles. GM Parts Direct says Part Number 84392225 ( 84392225 )console wiring harness only comes up as having the Sunroof connector and does not include the Power Slider ? This is getting frustrating. It is the only thing holding me back from completing my shopping list. Thanks to Miguel and Csjumper2003 for their patience and willingness to help. ~Freeman

Ok, progress is being made on my end. I contacted a Auto Glass company that is willing to remove and install a slider. Not sure if we are allowed to mention brands here or not, so to play it safe I wont (private text me if you really want to know). Either way I was going to go with the only Sliding Window I could find via a very popular search engine ? But after removing the back seat and all the trim and molding, I found several unused plugs. See attached picture. I'm assuming one of them is the plug for the factory installed Sliding Window, so now I'm opting for the OEM equivalent window that the Auto Glass company is offering as a choice. And now I'm falling down the rabbit hole trying to figure out all the parts I'll need to make this work. I thought all I needed to open the window was Part Number: 23441999, which is the Push/Pull Cable assembly, but apparently I need the actual motor and bracket, Part Number: 23490454. This is more of a question... I'm also going to need the Overhead Console Trim piece but cant find the one that will fit all my options INCLUDING the new Power Slider Switch. Currently I have: Sunroof, Garage Door Opener, and Airbag Status Indicator. I wrote all this out hoping to help others who are also considering doing this "upgrade" and in short, yes... I need some help with Part Numbers. GM doesn't make it easy to figure out. Thanks for all who read this, and huge thanks to those that can offer some guidance. ~Freeman

That is what the install places around here are saying ? Thanks for the reply ?

Howdy, All... I also want to install a slider in my 2017 Sierra. I wanted to ask those that have done this: did you do yourself? I’m having issues finding a business that will do it. what did you install? Factory or aftermarket? did you have to remove the headliner? Thanks for any tips, ~Freeman
