Default Window Busted

The other day the rear window on my 1990 Lexus ls400 got busted by a rock from a lawnmower and fell in. Does anyone know where I can find one. Love Lexus of Saint Albens WV quoted me $2000 and I would like to find one cheaper

Dude buy one off ebay for peanuts as install it yourself, it's honestly much easier than you think. If I was able to install one on a 1995 body Camaro successfully, with no leaks, you can do a rear window no problem man. Just watch how to do it on youtube, and buy the correct glue. You'll be fine, and it will look original.

Where do you live? Where I'm from, there are millions of places in the valley that would have you in and out with in 30 minute's, for around $175 guaranteed

Just curious - why don't you let your insurance co. handle everything?
You would have to pay your deductible under comprehensive, but they will take all the hassle.

I live in WV where there isn't a lot of Lexus around. The car doesn't have comprehensive on it due to age, it only has liability. So everything would have to be out of pocket.

I have one that can be shipped to me for $285 total. The only problem is I don't know where to find the moldings or seals for the window.

i would think the installer putting the glass in would be able to reuse the seal, even if it has broken glass all over it. you are having it professionally installed right?
