sliding window

has anyone ever replaced the sliding window glass and if so how did you do it thanks

I don't think it can be replaced -- because it doesn't exist. Tye MJ rear sliders aren't flat, the glass is curved, and nobody makes replacement glass for them. I know -- I have a friend who runs a glass company, and we've searched.

If you have the glass, you are thre--quarters of the way.

 

The whole window is glued into the body like a windshield. The outer "gasket" is trim. The slider assembly has a top rail and a bottom rail, with the ends open such that, on the ends, the glass is glued directly to the body. I don't think there's enough vertical clearance to pop a new slider glass into the tracks in the vehicle, so I believe you will have to remove the entire window assembly, spread the top and bottom tracks to insert the new glass, and then reinstall the window and the trim gasket.
