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.
