Rear quarter glass?
- Thread starter Fletch124
- Start date
i got an estimate from an auto glass guy and he said itd be a shitload of money if he had to find it around here. there are no supras within a 2 hr drive in any junkyards. also the curvature would make it hard to find a generic replacement part.
however, ive seen them on here for $20 plus shipping, and installation shouldnt be too much.

ild just looking to haveing a lexen(i think thats whats its call) replacement made lighter and less likly to shatter
you could make a lexan one pretty easy if you got 1/8" or so and screwed it in with pan head screws. just be sure to seal it with window sealant before you put the screws in, the lexan should flex and twist enough to conform to the space.
but im not quite sure it's street legal and itd make it a hell of a lot easier to break in.

Just get a replacement piece of glass from someone on here. It's not hard at all. Just time consuming.
I agree way easier to find a replacement here. Its easy to change out as well just need to pull the inside/outside trim and I believe there are 3 nuts that hold that piece of glass on. After the nuts are off just push!! You will need to reseal the window but thats easy enough...:icon_bigg
Ok damnit, cant drive til i get it repaired. Ahh this sucks!
Who has some glass for me? Passenger side.

The glass itself is easy to change. Just follow the TSRM. The thing that sucks is that you have to take most of the interior out of the back of the car to do it.

those windows hardly weigh anything - lexan would be a waste of time and it would look like shit.
The only real gain by putting lexan in place of a window would the front and/or rear glass. I would personally keep the rear glass in though as you need the weight in the back more than you do in the front.
I've removed/replaced that glass before myself, there's a bunch of interior stuff to take apart, but it's not THAT hard, just takes a bit of time.
i had my supra in one of those tents for the winter and we got a huge snow storm and it collapsed the tent, luckily for me the only damage was the quarter window which got shattered. I ordered a new one from tubbie, Thanks tubbie
anyway is this something i can do myself without alot of tools? Do i just need the piano wire for uninstalling? Where do i get a new seal from?

It's not hard. Just follow the TSRM. If the old window is broken, you really don't even need the piano wire. You can get the butyl tape to seal it up from an autoglass place or even some autobody stores. I got mine from CarQuest.
