Cracked up windshield

[Chowbird]

Are there any after market windshield vendors for the FJ40 (1974) or is classifieds the only avenue? Thx

I had one cut at a local glass shop. Where are you located? I have a template window I can loan you if you are in the Seattle area. If not I would try and get a hold of your local club. The dealership still has some windows, but they are SPENDY.

Thx. Sadly, I'm in MN. I can find one out here. It just might be a bit of a drive. Just wondering if anyone found a good, reliable parts place that carried them

Cruiser Corps is showing 7 in stock.

Most any glass shop should be able to cut a new one for you, using the old one as a template.

I got one for around $100 and installed it myself. There are several DIY threads on this forum.

I just got a quote from a local glass place. $75 for the install. $175 for new glass and install (clear glass, not the green tinted). Not bad.
The green tinted glass is 75 bucks more.
Check your local auto glass places.

Awesome. Thx guys.

I had mine replaced (twice) about 4 months ago. The local glass shops can do it, but check around... I got quotes from $200 to $325.

On the way home, 6 miles after having the windshield replaced, an on coming gravel truck lost a large piece of cargo, my new windshield found it . I immediately returned to the windshield shop. The guy felt sorry for me and installed a new windshield for $100.

you get the best fit if you bring the OEM rubber channel (still available from the dealer) to the windshield shop
