I just bought a bumper stock/combo which has plexiglass on the butt side. It just has a frame around it, so in order to remove it for the summer, I have to take the frame off to get it out. I would really like to put some kind of track on it so there cold be two pieces of plexiglass which could slide past each other so I can close it back up when it rains and not have to keep taking the whole mess apart all summer. Is there somewhere to buy a some sliding track to install to accommodate this?

Various extrusions are sold in lumber yards and big box stores, for the installation of house hold soffit and facia materials. These include "H", "F" and "C" shapes, some or all may be adapted to your needs. They are aluminum, so unless a barrier coating is added, they cannot be used on steel trailers. Some will not support a 1/4" inch material, but many will work with 3/16" sliders. Add a bit of lubricant to the bottom track to ease the window's movement. Adding drain holes to the bottom track will prevent the water from accumulating inside.
