Equally sad these types windows were notoriously cheaply made, getting more than 10 years life out of them generally isn't too common especially if the vehicle is not stored out of the weather and sun when its not in use.
Sorry to be such a downer but being in the auto/truck glass business I've had to deliver this sort of bad news to more than a few.

Gotta agree with JWA and those saying to replace them. Your best alternative is to go with non track type. Similar to the pop outs on the back and side barn doors as well as behind the driver on the club vans. This type seems to age better. You can always replace them with blanks as well.
