  • has anyone done this before

    I have a 95 pgt with a shattered hatch window has anyone ever replaced just the window any help would be greatly appreciated

  • #2
    that is the most expensive window glass on the car and just like the quarter windows, it is urethaned into place. Not sure if they still make replacements. When they are found they're so expensive that most get a used hatch with the glass in it and replace the whole hatch.

    but sorry, don't think I really answered your question though. the hard part will be finding the glass and giving up the money they'll want for it

      That glass probably cost's upwards of $1,000 - $2,000 + Installation A junkyard hatch here in Vegas is $83.00. Why would you every replace just the glass at that price?

        I got my glass for $300+ install new in my cf hatch. I think they usually run around $500 Canadian

          Junkyard price for the glass is pretty cheap, And most any glass installer will charge about $100 on the install.

              Yep sure is. ^^This was really helpful to the post. Thanks.^^

              During the time I Priced a New one they were expensive. And if you want one New they still are. This was many years ago. We ended up getting a whole rear hatch and installing that because that's what the owner wanted to do but even so during that time it was cheaper to purchase the hatch with the glass for us.

              You can then remove the glass and install yourself or pay to have a glass company do it and still be less than a new one as MonoxideChild suggested.

              Seems like a used one can be found already removed for pretty cheap according to MonixideChild so that's the way I would go.

                LKQ is a nation wide pull a part chain in most areas of the country. They charge $44.99 for a probe rear hatch glass as is posted right on there website here. http://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/locat...rd-250/prices/

                Hatch glass replacement cost was from having it done, On a Probe. And was $100 installed. There was Zero speculation to my prices.

                      I was getting the windshield replaced on my mx6 and the guy saw the probe in the garage and said not to break the back glass because they are insanely expensive lol.

                          I've always heard a thin wire (like piano wire or something) and they just use it to saw through the glue/sealant.

                            Actually, we did the piano wire trick when we had to take the back glass out to race in the ChumpCar series. Just get the something around 1/8th diameter or so. If it's too big, you'll be running the wire into the glass and not the silicone/urethane. Get a couple of round wood pieces to wrap the wire around on each end, to be able to hold on to it. It's cheap to do it, but it is a work out.
