Has anyone replaced the rear hatch glass? The parking garage backed it into a low hanging pipe. Looks like only glass damage. I asked for all oem glass and gasket. Anything else I need to consider? It's a 2006 lx470.
 
I'm not 100% on this but on my 2002 my windows have a factory bronze tint. To my knowledge, Lexus has about 2-3 different window tint colors but some are not made any longer...the aftemarket are probably clear or grey.
 
Thank you for the info. Mine is pretty dark. They had to ship one from the west coast so I hope it's the right one.
 
The cleanup guy at work broke my rear glass while weed trimming. I called our local club dealer sponsor and the glass is $690 with out discount. He asked if it was green and gray. My 100 is 99 and is definitely bronze.

The boss called around and is getting prices around 300. Any problems with non oem glass.

Could be issues with non-OEM glass. The curve has to be very close to OEM or the fit will be less than ideal, based on my experience with windshields and side glass.

Rock auto has just glass for $185, not sure on mfg
