Default Broken Rear Slider window latch

Anyone know how I can fix the latch for the rear Slider window, it will not latch/lock anymore, Dealer says I need to relpace the whole window.

Do they sell just the black plastic latch/lock? I have about 3k in the Sterio system and need to keep it locked.

Thanks

Do you know how to remove the old latch from the window? Is glued onto the window.

Also, I spoke with Auto Zone, they only sell a univerial latch, I have not seen it yet.

Thanks

Question

Yes, I've seen those latches on Ebay, However they are different then the one I have, mine does not screw into a molding peice, mine is Glued onto the window.

The dealer only sells the latch with the Window, they will not just sell the Latch.

I'm wondering if I can just add a similiar latch? But how do I remove the old one from the window? Its glued on pretty good.

Thanks
