Hey guys. My hatch glass was destroyed a few weeks ago and I've turned myself in knots trying to find a replacement. The nearest replacement on car-part.com is something like 300 miles away. Even that's not a given, every time I've called a yard that supposedly has a window, it's either 1) recently sold or 2) MIA.
I've contacted 2 custom glass places. Both have no interest in making a glass replacement for a Toyota Supra. One offered to track one down for the low, low price of $1000.
I had a JDM hatch shipped from California, but it broke in transit.
So for me, there seems to be really one viable solution: Polycarbonate. I found a place that can form it for me. I can get anti-scratch coating, so I can keep my rear wiper. Downsides: no defrost or antenna. Upside, lower weight and it's new (as opposed to used glass).
They more I make the cheaper they are. Any body else interested in polycarbonate hatch glass?
