Sliding rear window lock replacement

[gapalm]

I have a 2020 1500 Big Horn with a manual sliding rear window. The lock is missing. The dealer only has a part option for the entire window. Where is the best place to get a new lock?

yeah, but with so many choices I am concerned that I'll wind up with the wrong part.

How about if I type in "2020 Ram pick up sliding window lock" and it comes up with this:

Wasn't that hard... took just under 5 seconds cause I don't type well. PS: Mopar calls it a backlight keeper.

You make it sound easy, but when you search Mopar for that part it doesn't exist. When you search Amazon, 4 results are returned and they all say it doesn't fit the 2020 Ram 1500. Sounds easy, until the result don't work. Even the RAM dealer was only able to give a part number for the entire window and they used the VIN to get an exact match.
