TheBeastie Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Just a hurrumph really. Closed (well you have to close it quite forcably) the rear door and the glass shattered. I had reseated it all about 18 months ago and no problems at all. Now spent half an hour removing the glass, sweeping the road, removing the alu holding in bits and then trying to wrap the hole up (not very successfully) with a tarp. Have emptied the back and parked it with back door up tight to the garage door. Situation probably exacerbated by crappy door locks fitted earlier (see other thread) necessitating several door closures before it gets locked. Guess I am now looking for glass as well as new door locks! Oh woe is me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Have you asked your locak independant car window replacment company for a price for a replacment ? Im assuming its on insurance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeastie Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks Nic Does anyone know part numbers? I found MTC3469 but local LR dealer says this is 5mm glass and I should have 4mm. So then found MWC4719 which says 4mm military. The glass I had was clear (no tint) and not heated - since can hardly ever see anything out of it anyway LR dealer suggested a Bearmach part that is 4mm at £30 plus VAT which I could live with but looking with a bit of envy at the 5mm ones which seem to be about £20 all in. The original LR piece is over £130 so looking for an alternative but would prefer to get the right bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Look locally for a glass supply company. See if they have an offcut of Lexan. That will never break........Bet it'll be cheaper than a proper glass. More secure as well. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 MWC4713 is the tinted & heated rear door glass in 4mm which supersedes the 5mm glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
