Need a new one, so Sliding or Solid Rear Window?

[Bloodhound1981]

I have a slider and original glass. the slider is a little beat up. who makes a good window? Any have a power slider?

I bought one from this guy on Ebay who bought out an old warehouse with a bunch of NOS Pass-Port sliders. It looks factory, but uses the solid glass gasket.

I've always liked my solids but had a friend that had sliders. His was broken into at Sam's Club in Vegas. They didn't get anything but he got a replacement latch at an RV repair parts place.

Mine came with a solid and regular tint. When the sun was behind you you needed SPF 50. After an accident that broke the window we had a deep tinted slider put in. I'd never go back. Cooler, pass thru for some things, and being able to crack it open with one hand which kills all the buffeting from having a window open. One doesn't always want to run the A/C even when it works.

I like the updated rear glass that uses only one movable pane instead of two windows like OE.

broke the glass on my stock slider, went with the one piece slider-waaaay better. no rattles and more secure.
prob be replacing the factory double slider in my '90 stepper with a single as well, rattles like a mother

I'm kind of at the same point (nothing happening for a few months but will need one soon enough). Was looking for the c.r. laurence brand and it seems everyone that carried them - the 4 panes are out of stock with no date of replacement, while the 3 panes were available or at least an ETA to ship. Kind of wondering if they're dropping the 4 pane?

I dont mind either look - sounds like the 3 pane is more secure though.

winter research ....got both original glass and 4 pane slider. but want to replace a beat up slider if possible.
heading to USA1 tuesday to look and hopefully order waaaay too many interior pieces after christmas spending

I emailed USA1 a couple days ago to see if they had it in stock. No response yet and odds are high they dont. I dont mind waiting a couple months this time of year, but even if they say 2 months, I still expect it to be more like 6+.

They've been out of stock on some items for over 3 yrs now.
