Dude. I own an auto glass company and have personally replaced over 1,000 pieces of auto glass. https://www.amazon.com/NAGD-2006-2007-Extended-Laminated-DD10935GTY/dp/B00JG7N0PK
I think this is it. Not the cheapest, but probably cheaper than the dealership.

Honestly the OEM one is amazing. Fits perfect and it keep a lot of heat out (coming from a guy living in Tucson, AZ).

Yea the guy I bought it from never opened them once in ten years haha. the day I opened them to test operation before buying they both broke the plastic connector piece on the latch...easy fix though..I got the same part but paid $8 for both with free shipping

Alternatively, I can HIGHLY recommend this Fresnel lens. You use a little water to stick it to the top of your windshield, and it saves your neck from that bending.
After finding the the part number here, I looked for dimensions to no avail, but found the box size for a windshield subassembly from ebay to be 167.6 x 48.3 x 33 cm.
So, I made a canvas at 1676 x 483, and estimated the size of a windshield in said box, and concluded that it could possibly be done with two. (I took the height, then rotated it as the wiper would)
As seen here: https://i.imgur.com/dkKK6RT.png
Edit: I figured someone might say that the left wiper would be traveling a further distance in the same time, so to that I say it could be stopped after traveling the same distance as the one on the right to the same effect.
I have this product on my P3D. My girlfriend installed something completely different in her SR+. She is an odd cookie but this is another option. Not sure how much it actually would help in a break in attempt but this is the link to watch she got:
Rear Panel Window Theft Protector
Have you tried an aftermarket seal like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N1DXSH5
$16
The wind noise and the reverse camera delay are my two biggest complaints. Reverse camera delay is software related so that will likely get fixed in the coming months.
I have purchased both this basenor wind reduction kit and this wind guard which seem to help a little but I think most of the noise is coming through the front windshield somehow.
SUBARU 2003-2008 Forester Front Left & Right Door Gusset Assembly Set Genuine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G4HYY2R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7GenDbHWJ9KSN
NOT SURE HOW TO POST A LINK HERE'S THIS Amazon link.
Here's a cheaper one on Amazon (aka anyone other than MiniMania).
You should try something like this:
LightInSight Specialized Windshield Lens https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K31M554/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IMXFAb529MESY
Well now this is interesting.
The same company sells the same glass (front drivers side) for the same vehicle but tempered glass. While your link says the laminated glass is compatible with the 2006-2007 extended cab.
BUT looking at Dodge Ram forums it does come with laminated glass from the factory. They should consider switching the wording because people might think the tempered is OEM and the laminated is aftermarket and usually the manufacturer picks a specific type of glass for a reason (sound, safety, reliability, etc.)
Windshield channel
they should make somethign like this but solid, not that ugly louver shape - https://www.amazon.com/BASENOR-Protector-Anti-Theft-Quarter-Shutters/dp/B07RSKCFRC
I bought from here : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792NCNXS/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_T4FRBbZ0QY99E
Go to YouTube and look up “decal center hinge” technique, that is what I used to apply these decals. https://i.imgur.com/QsceW2i.jpg I also used a spray bottle with a couple drops of Johnson and Johnson’s baby shampoo to wet down window immediately before application. You’ll need the spray, at a minimum an old credit card (I had previously bought a window tint kit on Amazon for $10) and a razor blade to trim it to fit the window. I took my time and was very patient and both sides took me about 45 minutes total to complete. It was a fun little project.
Looking back, I should have installed it a little higher, cutting the top stripe a little thinner, so if someone gets one, keep that in mind. Also, align the decal to the bottom edge of the window.

Another helpful addition especially if you are tall in a mini is [this](LightInSight Traffic Light Lens Compatible with MINI Cooper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FN9L2X7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BJ2zCbGRYGATE)
I don’t mix the weird positions I would have to get in if I needed to see a traffic light.
I am 6' 3" and sit tall, so I ended up getting a mini with no sunroof for the extra headroom (more than in my Volkswagen Tiguan!). Leg room is great! Both for length and width (knee spacing).
If you don't want to lean forward at stop lights, which is something I had to do about half the time in my Tiguan too, you can get something like this: LightinSight
I got one for my mini, and it works great for me.
Unless you're powder coating, I'd leave calipers alone. The paint never lasts as long as they're advertised to. Besides, the grey/silver calipers look nice even if left stock.
(relatively) inexpensive mods I've done:
https://www.amazon.com/AY-Customs-Windshield-Dampening-Reduction/dp/B07N1DXSH5
RPMTesla makes one too, but costs more and they have less than stellar customer service, according to this sub.
Bikini or Crop? I have an extended top ("crop") that is brand new. I didn't like how difficult it was to put on and it requires a windshield bracket (sold separately).
This is the top.
It requires this windshield channel.
I was about to put them both on Craigslist for $100 if you're interested.
Your soft top should have came with a rail to latch in there and that would give you something to hook into some thing like http://www.amazon.com/Bestop-51238-01-Windshield-including-Unlimited/dp/B0002SA22Q
For high speeds you can try something like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N1DXSH5/
I use it and it helps
Sure. I have a 2006 T1N sprinter 158" wheelbase and these are the windows. also I do have some of the seal tape that CRL sells but I was under the impression that these windows were supposed to have gaskets. almost every single instal video on the internet that I have been able to find either doesnt mention using any kind of sealant at all or mentions a gasket seal on the window itself.

CR Laurence VW1033L (driver side 10x33 slider). It was about $220 when I picked it up, check on ebay as well.
The real CR Laurence version clamps directly to van skin, no spacer or anything, no butyl, no extra sealant.

I bought it from Amazon, right here. I would like to buy a new one soon, as this was one of my favorite pieces on my car.
I have this installed. It looks super cool. Here is the Amazon link

Not the answer you're looking for, but something I have found VERY useful given my height (6'5"). Not just in my Promaster, but my other car as well, I would always have to scrunch down to see stoplights .... very annoying and uncomfortable over time. This has made a HUGE difference:
LightInSight Specialized Windshield Lens: hhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K31M554
I have a Promaster and I have found it to be reasonably comfortable to drive. I feel your pain. Best of luck in your search!
Has anyone tried this thing?
