Where to get cheap rear window?

[Trion]

Hi, I'm new on this forum. I'm from Norway and own a s14 Zenki euro spec.
A few weeks ago my rear window broke in a million pieces, and now i need a new one. I asked my local nissan dealer about a it, and with socalled "nice-price" he would throw in a new gasket set, making it a total of 2000$ :eek:

So now I'm looking for options..
I want my car as clean as possible, and dont need either rear window wiper nor heated window glass, but would like the window to be tinted. It could be a lexan window if it was pre-cut and had a very good fit with stock gaskets. That would also bee nice when considering shipping costs and danger to damage.
Any suggestions?

lexan scratches pretty easy...and it can distort with temperature changes as well (swell/contract with hot/cold)...are there no junkyards in norway? if not, you might just have to grin&bear that $2k price tag...

Can't you find glass shops?!?!?! Why go to the damn dealership sheesh...

Finding a silvia part in Europe is like trying to get parts in the US for a fucking Tata.

Whats sad is, your only option is probably the dealer. I doubt a whole lot of car glass places would have something for a rare car. If you find something cheap somewhere else that isnt local, shipping it wouldnt be feasible. Isnt there a European S-chassis board? Maybe you can find some connection in there. Somebody parting one thats with in driving distance? Im not saying driving distance of an hour or so, I'd drive 10 hrs to save my ass $2k thats for sure.

that forum is a euro 200sx forum and probably your best bet

I would just search for a local glass shop.


I don't know how it is out where you are, but here there are plenty of places that replace automotive glass for cheap (close to or less than $300 US)

There's gotta be one at a breaker in the UK, if all else fails. You can probably have one of the UK S-chassis guys pick up up, package it, and ship it to you for much, much less than $2000.

^^^See thats the hard part, shipping a rear glass. Why do you think nobody in the states does the rear S14 wiper conversion? Cuz getting that glass with the hole for the wiper is damn near impossible. It will break in transit.

when my hatch rear window blew up, a glass shop offered to replace it and replace the seals for like 300. i wound up buying a whole hatch from a yard for 30 bucks.
