i would not mind keeping it but mine wont close or open on both sides and im missing the plastic clip to hold them together so i was thinking if i just got a single solid rear window it would save me an annoyance but if any of you guys know any ways i could get the clips and make the window slide open easily iv tried wd40 and cleaned leaves and everything out of it

Can't really come up with an idea for making them slide easier without knowing exactly what is holding them up... but they sell the clips at the dealership. Its special order, though, and takes about a week to get them in. Also, they're like $20 a pop.
