Best replacement slider back window

Who makes the best back window? Mine is broke and I want a new one before winter sets in.
Thanks

I cannot say who makes the best replacement, but sometimes, a NOS Ford one shows up on eBay. Perhaps NumberDummy will see your post and can help you find one which is left over at a dealer. You might modify your thread title by adding: - Attention NumberDummy. That will help get his attention.

E3TZ-11422B30-A (replaced EOTZ-10422B30-A & E2TZ-10422B30-A) .. Sliding Back Window Kit / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

1980/96 F100/350, 1997 F250 Heavy Duty & F350, 1988/97 F(Super Duty).

1973/79 F100/350 is similar, but the glass is thicker.

> E2TZ-10422B30-A on ebay @ $300.00. <

A bit foggy here this morning in Simi (aka Dust Bowl) Valley.

I've never lived in a dustier place. Wash the car, then two days later it doesn't appear to have been washed in two weeks.

I think I have a factory unit in there, is there a way to replace the fixed glass panel that's broke?

Does the 73-79 fit the later cab?

Thanks

The glass is flat, any auto glass shop can cut you a new glass from their glass stock.

1973/79 will fit 1980/97, but the glass is thicker...which means that the glass runs are different.

I guess my question is, can the 83 factory window frame be dissembled to facilitate replacing the glass? I have found replacement glass for the newer sliders even how to disassemble the frame videos but nothing for the earlier windows. I don't want to pull the window if it's not repairable. I can cut the glass and my son can get it tempered, I don't think I want the panel behind my head to be untempered.

yes, it just screws together, but you need to remove the entire window from the truck for disassembly

Thanks Guys, I'm guessing that the replacement glass is NLA... but with both sides being the same I can use the other side as a pattern.

I used an OEM Ford back slider from a 1994 - 1996 truck. It fit just like the original one, except the latch is a MUCH better design; it can also be used as a handle and it won't break like the earlier ones would:
