Gateway Church 2003 Ford Winstar Van Right Slider Window Replacement

Somebody broke the passenger slide sliding door window glass.

Was able to purchase replacement glass via Amazon from National Auto Glass. However, the glass did not come with a rubber “trim” piece which was glued to the old glass, and the piece is in turn bolted to the door frame. When we removed the remainder of the old glass, I tried to retain the pieces, but somehow it got lost.

Called Titus Will Ford 9/16/2023. He says the rubber piece is obsolete and it cannot be obtained by him.

Was able to find a replacement window at Budget Truck Wrecking, in Auburn, recommended by Binford Auto Wrecking.

They had a 2002 Winstar. Was able to use a skinny knife to separate the window's plastic trim piece from the door frame. Got it home, removed the old black gooey calking and strip. Bought 1/4 wide neoprene weather stripping and placed it in the trim. At the church, bolted the new window in. Asked them to monitor any water leaks. None identified at this writing.
