I recently broke out the sliding window of my 96 Ford Ranger XLT Super Cab I'm looking to replace it with a stationary back window but I'm having a hard time finding a window that'll fit what other windows will fit my back window to make it stationary

So even if it says the part won't fit it will?

Welcome to TRS :)

Also 1998 to 2011 Regular cab, they changed to bolt in windows

In about 2005 Ford added 2 more studs to the top of these windows so you would need to drill 2 new holes in top frame

All super cabs used bolt in rear glass, slider or solid, 3 studs on top, 3 on bottom, 1 on each side
In 2005 they added 2 more on the top
In 1998 Regular cabs were switched to these same bolt in windows, they previously used different size glass and no bolts, just a gasket seal held them in place

Now, I have read of 2 super cabs that had the gasket type rear windows, so this is a "general" rule
I would pull the interior panels to see if you have bolt in or gasket type BEFORE buying a replacement, then get replacement for what YOU have on the 1996

This article is about removing the gasket type rear window on regular cabs: https://www.therangerstation.com/Magazine/spring2009/remove_rear_window.shtml

Here is a picture of the bolt in window frame, you can see the holes for the studs on the rear window frame: https://www.ranger-forums.com/attachments/exterior-semi-tech-39/176896d1501424019-back-sliding-window-question-103-0333_img.jpg

There are videos on replacing these
