    I currently have the 2-piece slider back window. not a fan of how it looks and i never use the slider window since its in such an awkward position. tried doing a Google search but could not really find anything for 1st gens.

    Found of bunch of guys selling used ones but not sure hwere they got them from.

    I tried looking at Safelight too as they seem to have every option under the sun and they want like $450 installed. I would rather buy the glass and install myself.

    If you were closer I'd trade you straight up for my solid rear glass.

    ^Put up a trade thread, I think a lot of people are looking to swap for the opposite of what you want, so it should work out nicely for you

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Check a local glass repair place, Safelite is a big name, so they might charge more.

    My 01 had a solid window and I found a tinted slider on eBay. It's in my attic now and I'll never use it. I had to reuse the factory seal on the slider. Safelite is on crack because it takes like an hour to pull out and install if you take your time. Make me an offer and I'll box it up and ship it to you. Like I said, I'll never use it.
