Can anyone tell me if you can replace the sliding back window portions on a 1990 Chevy 1/2 ton? They got busted recently, and the quote for a new window installed is $500 and up.
I was told by one place that they could do it if I brought them the windows, so I went to the junk yard and got them out of another truck.
They then told me that they can't do it short of cutting the frame apart and tig welding it back together, and that'll be about $300.
Grr.
So, can you or can you not replace the sliding windows if you remove the whole assembly from the truck, or is this considered not practical?
We pretty much mangled the frame on the truck at the junkyard getting the sliders out, so I'm inclined to believe them, but it's just a royal pain driving all over the countryside when I could have just had a glass place nearby replace the damn things in the first place if it was going to be the same price.
