[sundaycruiser]

Can anyone refer me to where i can get a new windshield for my ‘97 LC?

Much appreciated

Pretty much any auto glass place and/or dealer.

Dealer was cheapest for me at $320ish installed.

Thanks so much. Independent shops were having a difficult time locating one. I called Safelite and they had one…but $475…

I’ll try Dealership 👊🏻🤙🏻

Some guy on Fb recently said that the 80 windshields were actually NOT discontinued and they can be shipped from Japan. No idea if this is true, but worth calling a dealer just to check.

Amayama won't supply one as they will not ship glass, but if partsouq or megazip have any they'll ship glass. Genuine I thought was now NLA in all variations. I'm sure OGBeno can confirm this.

Nest step is to find an installer that will actually do a correct install. You almost have to hold them at gunpoint to get them to glue the gasket and the windshield.

Sooooooo, what kind of sealant are we using these days?

Several good vendors out there. I've seen 3M and Sika get used and perform. Pretty sure the Sika was 221. Unsure of the 3M product.

Installers don't want to deal with the time required to execute the clean up process.

Safelite did mine; $100 deductible via insurance.

Been good for the 6 months it's been on.

I'd buy a new Toyota windshield, I hate this aftermarket glass.

I trust the 3M stuff. Had the glass on my LX replaced year and a half ago. got very lucky with getting a piece of OEM glass.

OEM windshields are discontinued. All versions of them globally.

Do you have any specifics for what you used?

Here in Australia I got a new windscreen installed properly for $220au (which is like $155usd). Maybe becuase we have more cruisers around the price is cheaper?

 

[Kernal]

@Feistl : Could you look at the right lower corner of the windshield and tell us what brand and what numbers/letters are printed on the glass (or post up a photo)?

Good time to check for rust around the windscreen opening too.

Was the install done properly? That price couldn't include a new factory rubber seal. Still haven't replaced my front glass yet due to multiple factors.
