PO shattered the rear glass that goes up and down. Im guessing its going to be stupid expensive to put glass back in it anyone know if they make a plastic glass cover thing like the Jeeps have?

 

a plastic cover for the rear glass? not sure i know what your talking about, but there are soft top kits on the market that do not require the rear glass because they have vinyl windows (killer toy tops and Softopper)

 

yeah i meant a vinyl window. ill check em out appreciate it

 

About $220 https://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/p/T...813189101.html Your choice.

 

scope you’re the man

 

"Body" parts can vary by body style (in surprising ways); always use your VIN when shopping.

 

I have a back glass. In Calif?

 

I wish Jim im on the other side of the US :/

 

I have a spare glass, located in Knoxville, TN.

 

I doubt Lakeland can get the glass new. Their epc lists everything, even discontinued. I'd run the part number through another source, like toyotapartsdeal.com or McGeorge Toyota online parts.

I would never try and ship a piece of glass, especially one that large. But if you can think of a way to get cross country lmk.

 

How much for it man, Knoxville not terribly far from me

 

I pm'ed you

 

If you get a Toyota back glass it helps to have a second person help support the glass while it’s horizontal. If too much of the glass is out of the tailgate while flat it will shatter if just left hanging

 

not unless something is dropped on it. i’ve extended the glass almost fully “out” numerous times. auto glass is pretty strong, it isn’t going to break from that.

 

I have fully extended mine several times as well, when troubleshooting the key-switch, lubing the motor and regulator, and so on. I do take care not to put any kind of weight on the glass. If I'm going to try to put anything into the truck, even my multimeter, with the glass out, I make darn sure not to touch the glass, unless I'm using one hand to support it from below.

Just my experience, for what it's worth. I still have the factory glass in my 4Runner all the way around. Someday I'll need to replace the windshield, though. It's pretty badly pitted from 20 years in Yuma, Az, from sand-storms. Welcome to Yuma. heh...

I still think it’s best to support, especially if you’ve gone through hell to find a replacement. I’ve only seen one break, but it was a drag.
