JeepcoMJ Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 if it's a stock split rear, the only way to install new glass is to remove the entire window. new panes are not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've used acrylic plexiglass, aircraft quality and made my own when I couldn't find anything readily available or reasonably priced.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 shortbed Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 if the glass is flat they can prob cut one and install but they will have to pull the whole window. It glues in like a windshild, the rubber you see is just for looks. It is not made anymore, but there is a how to on removing without damage. If you can't find one I do have one but I would worry about breaking it in shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It is SAFETY glass. No shop will cut you a piece and DO NOT install non safety glass..........your life will be at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 A shop won't cut tempered glass for you, but they will cut laminated glass to size. Laminated is just like what the windsheild is made of, and is still considered to be a saftey material. If you can't find a used one this might be a good option for you. I had new laminated glass cut by a shop for my 59 VW microbus windsheild. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 thank you gentlemen :cheers: that gives me some hope. this is on my daily driver. - ( my only driver, these days) so I'm anxious to see what the glass place has to say about it come monday. living on an isolated part of the coast means i can't just drive over to the next town or city for services like these, and ferry fares have just about priced the average person out of the market.

Eagle Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The problem is -- if it's a factory slider, the glass is NOT flat. It's curved, and that means it needs a factory replacement ... which is not available. I have two factory sliders that have busted glass, and even my friends in the glass business haven't found a source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 junkyard. car-part.com might be of help with that. :thumbsup: I'd just plan on replacing the whole unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
