Default Back window blow out!

Well I was hauling furniture yesterday and one of the chairs came threw the back window! I had it fixed yesterday, there was the full back window befor and I had them replace it with the sliding back window. But this morning I was looking at it and ther isn't a rubber gormet on the outer edge of the window. There was one on the old window. If some one could post a pic of there back slider the outer edge so i can compare. I have a 2 year warrenty so I want this fixed if needs to be befor it rains this weekend. Thanks

I dont have a camera at work right now but I just went out and looked at mine. There is a molded style rubber ring around the window but it doesnt site "flush" against the body/paint like a normal window would. Take a picture of yours and we can tell you if its right or not. Sorry about your luck but the good thing is that you got a new sliding window out of it!

Ok I dont have that trim and that keeps water out. Looks like the truck is going back. Thanks guys
This glass company is what the insurance company recommended and they suck imo when I went to pick up the truck all the broken glass was still in the back seat with the peice of cardboard I had up to keep the wind out when it was broke. I had to tell them to clean it out and they still did a half A$$ job!

I have an '08 and DO NOT have the rubber trim. It's prob the new style design. I don't even have to go out and look because when i wash the truck, I distinctly remember spraying the wand into that crack and cleaning all the soap out of there.
My front windshield ids the same way, no rubber trim betwen the glass and the paint on the top edge. The back glass has nothing all the way around as it seals in where you cannot see.
