Re: Anyone rebuilt an OEM sliding rear window?

Try a local "aluminum products," & storm windows, & window replacements store. Auto glass shops probably wouldn't have the same kinds of weatherstripping on hand.

I had a siding, guttering & window replacement & storm window business for many years, & we had rolls & rolls of lotsa (dozen or more) different styles of similar weatherstripping that I kept on hand to do repairs. Had what looked to be a twin for the compressible tube weatherstripping in the photos. Not an uncommon type at all. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

If it wants to slip out after installed, "stake-it" into place near the bottom of the track - we always used a small straight tipped screw driver to punch down (lightly) the sides of the track that the bottom (T-part) slides in. That stops it from sliding down / falling out when the sun gets on it & softens the rubber & stretches the aluminum track a little bit.
