Tonight, I broke the sliding window section in my '05 Dakota while sliding in a 12' 2x8.
I searched these forums first, of course, then Ebay. All that I could find is this one on Ebay --> http://goo.gl/YPvXKw

Are there any other places to buy one?

 

I have never been able to get replacement slider only had to buy complete window assembly

 

I don't know if it's simple to pop the middle section back in. I never really looked at it closely.

 

My local Dodge dealer ordered me one for $150. I could have probably found it cheaper in a junk yard, but I just don't have time to find one right now.

Hopefully, I can install it myself.

 

Like djibara, I have never seen just the sliding portion sold, I had to purchase an entire window back window. Then I used a some 1/4 rope to put it in. Is that what they sold you?

 

I tried to replace it myself, but couldn't figure it out.
I took it to an auto body repair shop in town here. He had it installed in just a couple of minutes.
There is an insert piece on both the top and bottom of the window where the slider slides.
He took both out. Then the window would fit in. The inserts simply snapped back in.
