    The bad news is I broke my rear slider, the good news is I found a really clean used tinted slider. I feel pretty confident I can swap them out. My question is what sealant should I use? Thanks

    I took the interior pieces out. started to cut out the factory seal and didn't have the right tool. ended up taking it to "cheap auto glass" in wilimington, CA. the tool they used was home made; they took a piece of 1/2" EMT about 18" long and smashed about 4" of the end flat and put razor knife blade inside the smashed end (genius)
    The hardest place to cut the factory adhesive is under the bolts and bottom corners. with this tool it came out easy!

    Used Urethane adhesive and they had a ryobi 18v caulking gun to squeeze out a nice fat bead. This tool alone may be worth the price of paying to have it installed. I paid $65.00 and feel it was a fair price.

    This shop also has center sections of sliding rear windows from 2nd gen taco's for $50.00 the owner said it's an easy install
