    Having a pretty hard time finding anything on this topic, so I figured I bring it here.
    I have a '17 OR with a power slide. Problem is the 2 windows on each side of the sliding window are broken out. I'm trying to figure out if I can buy a manual slide and install my powerslide glass in place of the manual slider.
    I've seen rear window assemblies for sale with and with out the center window included. So I'm not sure if they are interchangable parts and I'd love to save $3-400 on this one.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Do you need to know, or care?
    That's a good question. I'd suggest calling a glass shop, they should have the part number and could tell you if there is a match. My guess is you can, but IDK for sure.

    I don't know where you live, but if you were close I would give you the rear glass for free. I have one out of 2016 sr5 with no power window. The glass is fine it has some smudges on the molding. I won't ship it, but if you are close to north east Indiana it is yours.

    I'm around the Ann Arbor area, where abouts in N. Indy are you? I'll try to do some research.

    After being with Safelite for a few years now, you should have no problem swapping the power slider to a manual. As far as getting one without the middle glass, I’d steer clear from doing so. I have yet to do it on a Tacoma but trying to replace just the middle glass in fords and dodges are next to impossible. But most glass companies should be more than capable in doing the switch. Done the switch in some older Tacoma’s and a few silverados.
