Rear slide window swap to solid glass
Hey guys, got a question, I bought my daughter a 2008 F-150 Supercab with a rear slide window. The window leaks and rattles. Has anyone swapped a slider to solid glass? Please, I know many of you disagree with this idea but please I am looking for info on if this swap is possible. Thank you in advance.

Are solid glass rear windows even available for these trucks?
Only thing I use the slider in my '07 is for 12 or 16 or 20 foot lumber piecs laying on my Undercover bed cover. Not a lot, but like today I brought 3 pieces of PT 1x6 deck planks, 16' long. My hitch step stuck out further. I do pad the lumber through the slider, and use tie downs at the rear to my hitch step to keep it centered.
On my '77, I got tired of it leaking so I sealed shut with clear silicone and locked it with a couple pop rivets in the track.
