Some A**hole shot my back window with a BBgun

[mic_1011]

Like the thread states, my buddy came by the house the other day and was like "did u see ur window" obviously i was like no, so he says some one shot a bb through the small back door window (Vent window) i was pissed! anyway i took it to hunts point market and got it repaired for $60 thats a used window and labor, but i was looking on line and so that some of the glass companies like safelight want $288 for this repair, can that be right? another point i wanted to make was that this little window is all one piece with the frame(suprising) and i still can't figure out if the was intentional or some kid just playing around and an accident!

That sucks

Dude - That is a pretty accurate number. I would suggest going to a pick-a-part place, and see if you can find one that has a expy that matches yours. They should have a lot of them, if it's old enough, because there were a ton of these turned in during the "Cash for Clunkers" era. I have found a TON of parts for my 99.

Good luck.

In sympathy, I had a broken out side window on a 1979 Bronco. I figured, little window, pretty cheap. Best deal from a shop I could find was a 4 week lead time, and $300. I ended up getting a whole door from a junk yard for $50.

i know im digging up skeletons at least i searched....

does anyone have a "how to" on the drivers side rear door vent glass (little glass behind the window that goes down) i need to see how easy it is to replace it with a used part from a junk yard or ebay. thanks in advance

If I remember correctly, it's bolted and butyl foam sealed to the body. I'll post the full how to in a couple of days, after finals. Just bump the thread or send me a PM reminding me

The rest of the job is removing the interior trim to gain access to the bolts.

usually the smaller windows cost the most to replace. sounds stupid. i had a winodw smashed by a neighbors loan mower spitting out a rock. he paid for it though.

I'm looking at $277 from TASCA for the glass, but it its easy Imma pull on out of the junk yard for way cheaper. local install is $410

I had my rear window explode in the first snow fall when I was in Colorado a couple of years ago. Safelite was the fastest and cheapest. I think it was 350 for the rear window with the defrosters and the factory tint.

i wish it was the back glass, i had that replaced 2 years ago for $210 but its the "vent glass" as ford calls it

 

[ELVATO]

Oh, I thought you mean the big one behind it. Always called it the vent glass since on the Navigators (at least the older ones), there was a motorized option where it opened out and served as a vent.

I have it listed as the rear door glass - stationary. Either way, seems it's just removing the sliding glass, remove the moulding and the top run. Then, it's just a screw holding it at the top. I'll post tomorrow night or Friday once I'm done with finals.

i got bored so i fidgited with the good side last night, and its a 5.5mm bolt at the top behind the rubber moulding, and a 10mm bolt behind the door panel and the window slides right out (took me an hour to figure out that the window had to be down first lol) im off to the junk yard after work today to see how cheap i can get one for and also for ***** and giggles imma take pics incase any of yall ever run into this unfortunate event.

Just finished replacing the glass too easy, i actually got it shipped from a junkyard about 2hrs away to my house for $95! Beats the crap out of $277. If anyones interested its andersons auto salvage in troy, tx
