Glass Question

Post by Leify » Thu Mar 23, 2023 1:35 am

Hi all! I’m posting because my ‘95 Bongo Friendee got its passenger side quarter window shot out late last week (posting from Seattle, WA in the US so it sadly is more commonplace than it should be) and I’m struggling to source a replacement. I’m thinking that it might almost be easier to get a custom pane made fit to the vehicle but the roadblock I’m running into there is that I’m not certain what the glass type is- if it’s flat glass there’s an array of shops that would be able to make it for me but otherwise I’m looking at an 18hr drive to central California for the nearest manufacturer. Anyone got any info on what sort of glass the windows are/whether it would even be an option to get a flat glass pane made and installed if they weren’t that way OEM?

Also a long shot but if anyone happens to have one on hand (it’s a 2.5TD- part no. S05B63511B) or knows of someone who does I’d be more than happy to take it off your hands :lol:

Cheers!

You could try these and ask if they could post.

Oh dear, but welcome aboard. 8)

Good call from Geoff, failing that maybe Plexiglass?
