FJ60 Rear Hatch replacement?

[chandra]

My rear windshield is broken and the dealer here in Portland OR wants to charge me $680 for a new glass/gasket install. Instead, I am looking to replace the whole rear hatch on my '84 FJ60 because I have seen prices for the hatch around $250 on craigslist. Does anyone out there know if a '88 hatch will fit an '84? Should I be looking to buy the rear hatch and tailgate together or are they compatible? Are there any resources out there that will tell me if a body part from one year will fit another?
Thanks for your help.

I have a good rear glass if your interested.

Shipping would be from 85712.

$100 + shipping?

And, yes the hatch will swap over no problem.

I have a hatch in the garage here in Dallas with the glass and would sell cheap. It's got one spot of rust, but pretty good otherwise. Replacing isn't too hard, just make sure you have a spare hand or two to help you. I tried to do mine solo and holding that part over your head in one hand, while lining up the hinges and working the ratchet on the bolts....well, very frustrating for what should be an easy job. Lots of wiring, window washer hoses, etc route through there as well.

Just buy a new hatch...I sold a perfect one complete for 125.00. Have another in Indiana if none of the above work out (it's not perfect, but good). No need to replace the tailgate, they will all match up.

Thanks for the suggestions and info!

I got one from a fellow mud member for $75. $680 for glass replacement is NUTS.

if interested, I've got just rear glass or a complete hatch, that price is way to high, any glass shop can install a rear glass for cheap.

Do you know of any other mud members who might have one by chance?
