I always use sliders out of 92-97 ford f150 f250 f350 trucks. The earlier ones will work as well, however they latching mechanism is crappy and tend to be broke. The 95-97 ones have a nice to finger squeeze to release the to pieces of glass.
Rough up with some sand paper and paint the inner aluminium parts black.
Or reverse that idea and rough up and paint the outer chrome piece....na go with the inside piece.
Yeah...like you and 4x4slik said I'll probably just paint the frame of the slider black to make it less noticeable. That was my first thought but I figured I'd ask about a replacement just in case. It doesn't seem to leak so I could only make it worse.
Next time I get to the boneyard I'll look at some later model units to see if they'll work.
