Did that on my GMC, click on bottom of this post. Made my own templates (2 sizes). Got the rubber for solid ($25 ea.) and the glass cut to my templates @ $350 tinted. Fixing the frames and installing the slider kits ($40 ea.) is a lot of work, don't know how much glass would be. Never found anyone selling slider or solid. Any good glass shop can cut either for you and no shipping. Get the rubber first, put in on the suburban for a week, leave ends a little long. tape it tight in place and check it every day. then it will have memory. After a week or so, measure and cut in a home made "miter box", use a supper sharp knife. Bond together with 3M black weatherstrip adhesive and install after cured. Get some kind of ridged board (home depot) .25 thk, the glass is about .23. Mark a line all the way around the installed rubber opening, measure the depth of the rubber groove, subtract about 1/16 and add that amount all around. Cut it out, install it just like it was glass, drill finger holes in it to handle. It should be a little loose not much. Install using the string method. Buy a double suction handle (harbor freight) and install the glass same way, no adhesive or RTV, just plenty of soap! The trick is: make sure the rubber is tight to the truck when taped for a week especially in the corners and..... when you butt seal the rubber, build a jig to hold the butt ends together tight and keep the groove straight. Will cure fast so get it all ready and dry practice it. No leak problems with solid and it looks real nice. Albeit not stock.
