Toyota Trucks: Rear Slider Window Latch

    Rear Slider Window Latch

    I just purchased an '01 Tacoma. The latch on the rear slider window was
    broken so I went to the Toyota dealer to buy a new one. To my surprise the
    parts guy told me that Toyota doesn't sell replacement parts for the single
    pane slider window. They only sell replacement parts for the double pane
    window assembly. He said the reason for this is that the single pane slider
    window was not installed at the factory but rather at a dealership and is
    only replaceable as a complete assembly. Is this guy correct? I guess I
    could go to a junk yard and pick up a worn latch but I've got to believe
    that someone makes a latch that would work for this window. Any help is
    appreciated.

    All factory sliders I have ever seen are 2 pane. My guess is the dealer
    doesn't stock parts for the single pane and it's not worth their while to
    order a new latch from the manufacturer. If you know the brand maybe you
    can order one directly from their factory. The junkyard isn't a bad idea
    though. I think the factory sliders on Ford and Dodge trucks are single
    pane, you might find something you can use.

    No, he lies like a rug. All those windows are factory installed. Now
    some dealers may take a base model that didnt come factory with a slider
    and add it, but its rare. It would have to be maybe a std cab. Try
    another dealer.

    Inasmuch as the Democrats are complaining on how long the war is taking,
    consider this:

    It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the
    Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.

    It took less time to find Saddam's sons in Iraq than it took Hillary
    Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

    It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to
    destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call
    the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick.

    It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in
    Florida! TWICE!!!!!

    Damn our military is GREAT!!

    I broke one pane of a 2 pane slider not too long ago (I was being dumb!). When it came time to replace it I found one dealer would only sell the whole window, but found another that would sell the single pane needed. The dealer did warn me that it was not an easy item to replace, but sold it too me anyway. I was able to get it in but it was a lot of work! I think that this may be why they just go for replacing the whole window.
