I have always been looking and last year finally found a rear sliding window. The gull wing windows have been available from Frontrunner for a few years, but the sliding windows were still elusive. Here are the ones that I found and I bought a right/passenger side version for my G500 camper. This company is called Explore-Glazing and is located in Holland, they also offer a gull wing version for decent pricing. https://explore-glazing.nl/en/products/mercedes-benz-g-class This window has an active forward pane with the latch along the upper edge and come in 15% and 60% tint which match the other OEM G-class glass windows.

Today I was on eBay-Kleinanzeigen and saw another LWB 5 door rear slider. The sliding window frame is more similar to OEM in appearance than the one I have. The seller of these has made both glass panes active with fore and aft latches. They also have sliding windows for the SWB model. According to the ad, they only are made in clear or 15% tinted glass. I suppose you could cut custom matching dark tint or just put some tint film to match a darker tinted G. These remind me a lot of the old school Toyota Land Cruiser rear sliders with 2 operating glass panes. Here is a picture. I don't know if there is a shop selling these other than the eBay-K ad. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/schiebefenster-5-tuer-me... Edit: I did hear back from the seller. He has no website or shop but he is putting together a quote for price for shipping to USA from Poland. (BA6slider.jpg) Attachments ---------------- BA6slider.jpg (118KB - 0 downloads) | |
