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? |
