Convert from manual sliding rear glass to solid glass

I need to replace my rear sliding glass due to a water leak. I would like to replace it with a solid glass if possible and I would like to stay oem.
Has anyone ever done this? If so what have you used?
Truck is a 2006 crew cab 6ft bed 4x4

Are you sure the leak originates at the window and not the 3rd brake light above the window? The 3rd brake light leaking is more common and a whole lot cheaper to fix.

When I hose the bottom of the sliding window with water, water comes into the truck. I can see it bubbling in the window track.

I had a similar problem before with my power sliding glass. There are drain holes on the track that was clogged up. Would guess the manual has them too. Might check that before making the change.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was unaware the rear glass had drain holes. They were clogged solid. Haven't had time to test but I believe you just saved me a rear glass.
