Anyone else have a window mysteriously shatter? Any ideas where to get one, local glass shop maybe? I know its a dark tinted window that is curved on the edges. I have read of some people replacing their broken windows with lexan or plexiglass.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Yes, I've had similar experiences. The windows are "safety glass" (as required by vehicle code) and it brakes up into little pieces that look like rock salt. A stone flipped by your lawnmower could do it or if it has a scratch it might fall apart for no apparent reason at all. I had one brake when the wind slammed it shut.

I think the factory in Jackson Center, OH may still had replacement glass for that year. Unfortunately they will not ship to an individual and some dealers charge 100% mark-up on parts the customer specials orders. If you are anywhere near the Factory, I'de take it there and have it done right the first time. I personally feel that plastic is a bad idea except as a temporary replacement.
