One of the conveniences of pickup trucks is the back glass that slides open.  The, "slider", as they are known, makes for good air movement in the cab of the pickup. They are also available in a dark tint to keep the sun from beating directly on the back of your neck while driving.

    If you are driving a pickup now without a slider, the stationary back glass can easily be replaced with a sliding back glass to make your cab more comfortable.  The cost is usually around $200 to $350, depending on the difficulty factor in changing the glass out.

    All  back glass in a pickup is of the tempered variety.  That means that you will have hundreds of 1/4 inch pieces of glass all over the place if your glass happens to break.  Unfortunately, with the new style sliders, if one pane of the glass is broken, we can no longer simply replace the broken unit and reuse the rest of the framed glass.  It is usually necessary to replace the whole slider even though only one pane may be gone.

    Sliders come in two basic varieties.  One is a nearly clear tint.  It is used mainly for a truck that will have a topper shell on the bed that the occupant will need to access from the cab of the truck.  The other variety is a dark tint.  That is usually the preferred style because of the shade it provides for the interior of the cab.  You want to be aware of how dark it will be at night to see out of the rear view mirror and take that into account when deciding which style to choose.
