Rear sliding window question

Hey guys when I bought my truck the back window was tapped up and I thought the frame was bad and needed to be replaced. But it looks like it was actually replaced with a plexiglass peice and taped in place. My question is can I just get one of the window panes or is it something that I have to replace the whole thing?

The ONLY way to get one of the 4 panels is to go to a junk yard and dissect another slider. You will need to do the same to yours to gee the 1 piece in.

1973-1996 "F" series trucks all use the same rear window. The slider in the back of my 96 came from a junkyard 76 F100.

But you will want the newest slider that will fit. The older ones did nothing but leak. The 95+ ones had the better latch as well

I was able to pick up one of those latches and adapted it to the rear window on my 92. Works out well and better piece of mind with a little added security.
