... IDK how much just one piece would be, or if you can replace just one of the 3. I do know that a whole new 3 piece back glass is in the $175-200 range depending on the glass place.

You can't replace just one piece, at least when my sliding part busted on my old truck. Altogether, cost me $500 to remove and install from a local auto glass place here in Atlanta.

i payed $200 for a used rear electric slider and put it in myself. if youre ambitious you can install it yourself. as the other said, you cant just replace the one pane of glass.

Doesn't he have comprehensive glass coverage w/ zero deductable? Thats pretty standard on most insurances... worth looking into. Otherwire safelite will give you an online quote for free.

i wouldnt suggest Safelite... choose a local company where the money will stay with the county/state.. Safelite is a national company thats owned by parent company Belron in the UK...

i would definately check your insurance, you may have a $0-250 deductible which will save you money and it wont go against you to use it either
