99% are... LOL.. the issue is if you like to put your arm up on the pass side seat back.. your arm catches the latch and it breaks... i gotta watch someone do that once.. they were not happy as well they put a NIB one on the day before..

i has a non broken one SOMEWHERE on a 8ft tall, 3ft deep 9 foot wide shelf.. if you do not find one.. let me know.. but as of this moment.. i do not plan to look for it..

There is a standard Help Isle (you know th red boxes at the auto parts store)  part for these.

I had a friend shoot me a Help part number many years ago and it worked great. 
Darn if I can't find the email now though.

on my truck there's nothing in the glass at all that part is all gone just two overlapping holes in the glass. the catch part that's held on by two small philips head screws that's mounted inside on the window frame is still there tho. my point is it doesn't look like the above ebay link listing has everything I need to repair the latch. anyone?

ebay part is what you seek... its held in place by 2 small phillips screws and has another piece not in pic.. screws go thru the piece in photo to a button on other side of glass..

the screws go thru the buttons into the part shown on the ebay auction. so it's missing 2 screws and buttons and caps. correct? my etka isn't showing the part up close just one number for the whole thing.

id buy the ebay set up... see what all it comes with but back in the day.. it was all in 1 bag..

if it lacks the button and 2 screws.. you can use a piece of plastic to build said button.. and find 2 screws to screw into it with.. :D thats the easy part..

Email the seller and ask what's included? He's a good seller and really for $10 shipped you can't lose. If I wasn't planning on ditching my slider before the rainy season I'd buy one of those in a minute.
