ok, so the part of the rear window mechanism that the glass actaully mounts to in my 87' runner rusted out completely...where can I buy the parts to fix this thing? Right now I'm driving around with the window down and i'm sick of sucking exhaust fumes. Thanks for the help

 

Honestly, I know it's not the best advice, but I'd just try and find a used tailgate. They can be had for a reasonable price. Check Craigslist.

FYI, the part you need is called the window track, might make your search a little easier.

 

x2 on replacing the tail gate if the track is that bad then think about how bad the rest of it is just my 2 cents

 

why, oh why would you replace the entire tailgate if just the window regulator is bad?

You can find one used for $25-$75. They are super easy to replace, AND you dont have to worry about finding one that is the right color, or needs painting like a whole gate would.

The tailgates can be MINT and the tracks/regulators will rust out anyways, its just the nature of the poor design.

 

i must have miss understod i though it was the tracks that go up and down not what the glass sits on and yeah i just looked at my tail gate and there easy check around junk yards most of them have the rear window out of them already so it should be really easy to get one

In case you want a new one, but a salvage yard is your best bet.
