I put my top down today and the glass shattered. I only have a few hundred bucks so I need to go cheap. I found an oem glass window for 75 dollars.
Is it easy to replace and how much might a garage charge me? I know it had a tight fit going down before but what would cause that and what could I do to fix it so it doesn't break again? Any other tips you guys could offer? This post has been edited by CrypticDeity: Jun 15, 2013 - 8:51 AM |

Chances are the mechanism is bent. Have you been in a wreck. Not easy to replace just window. You have to undo the top in certain parts and then restaple. I'm on my phone so I won't post pics. I just did the top myself and was a good 12 hours

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

I just did the top myself and was a good 12 hours I got the car like 5000 miles ago and have not been in a wreck. It really takes 12 hours to replace a window? |

Any tips you can give me on minimizing cost? The car only blue books for 2200 and I have already put half that value into the car. Did you by any chance use a manual that I could find? |

same thing happened to me a few months ago, glass with curtain was $230 and labor was $200 took the guy 2 hours to do it in my drive way
Rear Curtain w\Defroster Glass mine broke because one of my cables came off of the right side of the top so the motors tried to put it down crooked This post has been edited by b22ri22an: Jun 16, 2013 - 4:04 AM --------------------  |
