Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and So I busted out the slider window. A 2x6 made contact. I did the same on another ranger (only it was an atv in the bed with a winch that busted it) and it had dual sliders. I was able to pull back the rubber seal around the edge of the window and unscrew the track and put two new sliders in.
However, this one was different. It's one window. And it is bolted in- not put in with just a rubber seal. I think it is a better design really. It deals up better.

So I called around and every glass place said I had to replace the whole thing for $300!! Even though I just needed a slider. I even checked everywhere on the interwebs and all I could figure out was that I needed to buy the whole new back window.
So I went to the junk yard and the only one piece slider I could find was a 2003 (mines a 1991 but it measured the same) or something ranger. So I pulled the whole window. One side was broke, so I cut the divider and bent the frame until the slider came out.
When I got home, I pulled out the plastic guides on top and bottom. You can see the bottom guide here:

I am removing the bottom guide with my grubby hands here
I removed this guide on top and bottom. This allowed the window to slide in further on top, then the bottom had enough clearance to slide in. Easy. Then I held the slider up and slid in the bottom plastic guide. Then held the window down and slid in the top guide. $20 junk yard slider saved me $300.
Looks good!

I hope that helps someone. I almost shelled out $300.
