NNOOOO!! it happened to another member :(

sickof5sfe · 06-16-2008, 02:32 PM

well as ashley and I were taking a nice cruise along the highway a truck decided to kick some form of debris towards my car. This debris managed to come thru the ttop most likely and destroy my rear window!! This is not cool and I am not a happy person

. Plus the glass/collision devision of my toyota dealership are struggling to find the part. Yep, this sucks. P.S. the pics are a little out of date as of yesterday the window is no longer there.

Holy crap... I've never seen that happen before. That's dangerous.

sickof5sfe · 06-16-2008, 02:36 PM

sdavis1090 · 06-16-2008, 03:24 PM

I think it was 3sgtepower's? Is Toyota the only place you can get the glass?? The window tint probably gave an extra hand in keeping the glass together.

awwww.....

mab9981 · 06-16-2008, 04:16 PM

It's a PITA to remove though.

Gairloch · 06-16-2008, 07:15 PM

Chris, that blows

Were you pretty close or did you have some good distance on the guy? I'm just glad neither of you got hurt.

I believe you can get it from 1sttoyotaparts.com

3xx IIRC

Maruki-kun · 06-16-2008, 08:15 PM

All of these threads are making me want to go out and buy 80% tint and strap 4 layers of it over my back window. lol...

canadam · 06-16-2008, 08:48 PM

I successfully removed a piece of rear glass and am trying to sell it. It won't be cheap to ship, but it also wont cost the $300+ it will cost from a dealer.

Let me know if youre interested.

sickof5sfe · 06-16-2008, 10:36 PM

yeah thanks for the sympathy guys i appreciate it

...yeah i'm just gonna have to look around...i got no response from my parts guys today so i'm gonna have to start lookin at junk yards or something for a decent price...luckily most of my window is gone so that may make things easier...although i do have to scrape out all the left over pieces that are still stuck there
