vanquishings Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I know this is a longshot, but my back glass is shattered on the driver's side. Looking for a 3 piece slider to replace it with the gasket, as well. Located in Ohio and willing to drive a bit to pick it up, or if you know someone willing to ship, I'd be interested. Already tried local junkyards, found one 90 minutes away, but when I went to pick it up, they didn't realize it was broken.... Headed to PA in a weeks time, so willing to snag it there or on my way back, as well. Any leads would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Would you have any interest in just buying the piece of glass that is broken and putting it in? These windows do come apart I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These windows do come apart I think. Expand I've been told from a couple of different glass places that the left and right are one piece. The middle is replaceable, but most places won't even do that, due to the fact that it's not something you can just get another of. Proving to be a headache. Frustrating when ones on ebay are $400, and junkyards are $75 but won't ship them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand One of the glass guys I talked to had actually mentioned that, but said he couldn't order them. Also said quality was so-so. But I haven't looked into that. I'm trying to retain the 3 pane, just because it's original, but saving that as a back up option. Is the quality that bad, or was he just a cranky glass installer?

Pete M Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 we have heard they are on backorder, but I was able to get confirmation from CRL that they aren't discontinued and it's just a temporary supply issue. quality isn't the best, but in another sense I guess it is the best since it's the only new option.

eaglescout526 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Actually the original 3 pane windows do completely disassemble. The morons at the glass shop haven’t touched these trucks in god who knows how long. So it would be wise to collect any and all glass and metal frame from any junked MJ.

Expand I saw a post when stock was dwindling, so I'm glad to hear they'll keep making them. I'm gonna try to keep the 3 pane just because that's what came with the truck, but if something horrendous happens, it's always good to have options. I wish the same could be said for some of the other comanche specific parts! On 5/1/2022 at 5:56 AM, eaglescout526 said: Actually the original 3 pane windows do completely disassemble.

Expand Well I'll be damned, sounds like a need to find a new glass shop. But I probably called about a dozen places. Only 2 were even willing to discuss installing a junkyard sourced rear windshield. The custom place wasn't even interested in cutting a single pane for me. Another place wanted $1200 for a CRL 4 piece installed. It's been a journey to say the least. The junkyard that had the damaged one removed it from the car-part registry, so maybe someone snagged it.

ghetdjc320 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I have one with a missing center window you can have. As for the CR Laurence 4 pane, it takes time to get it installed right but the quality is excellent. Most glass shops won't take the time to really fit it properly by conforming the aluminum trim to the cab opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told that's the easiest pane to replace. And I do have a good middle portion, already.

I'd be happy to cover costs and kick you some extra cash, as well! Hearing that about the CRL makes me want to continue to seek the 3 piece. I definitely don't trust myself with the regular epoxy, so I doubt some guy at a mobile glass spot would put great care into massaging an aluminum frame.
