Sliding rear back glass busted yesterday

Rear power sliding back glass busted 2011 tundra. Would this entire sliding back glass need to be replaced or can they replace the section busted by a fence post? I havent talked yet with any glass repair shop. I dont have any experience with a busted backglass. Thanks

 

On my 2000 Tundra I had to replace the whole thing. I bought a used one from a junkyard but had to return it. They didn't realize it but there's 4 studs (one on each corner that go through the pinch weld to hold it in place. It's also glued in with urethane. I had to remove the interior trim to get to the nuts to remove the old one. Not like the old days when it was just a rubber gasket holding it in. If I remember correctly the plastic parts of the slider are molded around the glass. Not sure if they changed the design. If I had to guess I would say you're replacing the whole thing.

 

Hard to say. When I busted it on my '09 I took it to a chain auto glass shop and they fixed it, but it was a one piece fixed rear window. I do see things like this on ebay. Maybe you could order it and have an installer or shop replace it?

 

The entire window (not the center slider) will have to be replaced. The glass and frame are molded as a unit. I watched them when I had my window removed during my window conversion. It is not something that you will want to attempt yourself. It took them an hour and a half to cut through the sealant.

 

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it

 

You converted to power sliding from regular non power rear window?

 

Yes I did.
