I cracked my rear windo last week as described in an earlier post.
I got a used sliding rear window from a junkyard for 35 bucks and i have yet to put it in.
I went to the stealer and they said its no longer available through ford.

Where can i get a new seal???
Thanks matt.

rear window seal

I might have one in a truck I just bought.
I will have to look too see if it is any good.
I also want to see if anyone is interested in the truck before I totally tear it apart.
I was told before that there is a difference between the slider seal and a solid window seal.
If you can fond out for surs I think I have a solid windou seal in my garage.

The slider rear uses a "thicker" window rubber IF the slider is a factory OE part. aftermarket sliders often will use the "thinner" rubber found in regular rear windows. If you have doubt which you have, post a pic and someone can ID it for you.

Even when that rubber was available it was over $100. The aftermarket sliders use the rubber from the factory fixed window. If you have a factory slider the window assy itslf is about 3/4" thick. If you have an aftermarlet slider there is a lip all the way around it that is only the thickness of the glass window. Good luck either way.
