"I'm hoping I dont have to remove, and/or replace
the entire window (all 4 pieces of glass). "
That's what you have to do.
You pull out the entire assembly, then disassemble it. Good luck
finding a used one. Good sliders disappear quick in the junkyards.
Sliding rear windows are a lot like upfit parts on conversion vans,
motor homes, etc. Finding parts is often a futile effort. You might
want to look into a complete window asy. from your local accessory
shop.
