Unhappy 90 LS Driver Side Window Broken - Attempted Robbery?

Well, after attending the Pursuit event today sponsored by Longo Lexus (which was great! nice to meet everyone!), I came home to relax here in the Woodland Hills area....I had been up pretty late the night before and so i obviously was quite exhausted and fell asleep as soon as i laid down lol...

Anyway, just about an hour or so ago, I hear a faint sound and then i have my roommates knocking at my door...End result:
Someone (or apparently a few people) broke into my car hoping to steal something and well, they managed to break the driver side window glass (after several initial attempts by hand, but took a large beer bottle in the end). Luckily, they only managed to steal the factory cellphone handle lol...
Boy was i ready to kick some ****!

<b>So, does anyone know who might carry the tempered window glass available on hand for a 90-92 LS400? I need to get it done by today! (Monday), so any info would be gladly appreciated. First things first, thank goodness for the factory alarm sensors going off.</b>


Thank you everyone!

Well, after many many phone calls throughout the morning, i finally found a place that had identical glasses available in stock!

Thank goodness for the internet and referrals!

if ever in need, try www.car-part.com for all your local used part needs...

make sure you get the right COLOR
the glass came in green and brown factory tint (different glass formulations).

Thanks for the tip!...

I actually found an identical part from another 90 LS with film installed. Looked like it matched my previous door glass (since i had it tinted also)

Theres a note for those who might or might NOT be aware...

At first, they gave me the glass for a 94 LS and it didn't fit. It seemed just a bit too large in width and was missing one of the guide-holes.

So just a suggestion to everyone...try to stick to your own years for replacement parts when it comes to this issue...

90-92 with 90-92 & 93-94 and 93-94.
