    one thing iv'e noticed with the back windows for these trucks is that there were several suppliers/brands with different designs (dual or single sliding panes) but they all seem to use the same rubber seal i think. my parts catalog lists the same seal for both solid and sliding windows. once the seal is used for a slider the rubber tends to harden and form for the shape of the frame and the same happens for solid windows too so its hard to use a seal that was used with one style window with another one. i learned this when i swapped my slider out for a solid window but used the original seal which caused it to collect water at the bottom of the glass and leak inside. since your seal is new it may be a bit stiff to the shape it was molded and may not be stretching enough around where the aluminum frame sticks out or the inner flat part of the frame may not be fitting into the seal most likely at the bottom outer corners where the aluminum frame is welded together. I currently have 3 of these trucks one being extended cab and 2 being standard so i can take a better look at them tomorrow and get a better idea for you.

    On a side note what type of slider window is your broken one you have and are all the panes broke or just one? i ask because one of the sliders in my extended cab truck is broken and i was looking for a replacement for mine, maybe yours has the piece i need? if so i would buy it off of you if you wanted too?
