    I had a time finding a windshield. Safelite had it and installed with Isuzu moulding for under $320. Call them. They are nationwide and I am told make their own glass.

    That SUXS....

    I broke a drivers side window wheeling in Moab,...
    .....and Merlin at St Charles Isuzu shipped it overnight.

    I'm sure Kat suggested you try them.

    I hope he has one, but I fear a salvage yard search may be your best bet...

    Please let us know where you source your replacement and how much it costs.

    Thanks

    Yeah, I looked up Merlin's price, it's $224, and there's one on ebay at a salvage yard in KY for around $82 + $26 shipping. Jheyson's got the junkyard list too, so he can call around.

    Both of the sides were good on the last one I saw in the junkyard. I would have pulled them, but I couldn't figure out how to get them out. Worse, the guys there said that they generally didn't pull the glass.

    I believe they are held in with adhesive "mastic" sealant...

    ....and need to be cut out with a cheese wire type device.

    I guess you poke a "starter" hole between glass and body ( window frame)...
    ..thread a ( serrated ? ) wire through...then one person outside, one inside...
    ....and saw back and forth all the way round.

    Do correct me if I'm wrong..cause I'd like to know how!

    Hopefully you'll have the window replaced and your toy back on business.

    Hi JoFotoz,
    Thanks for the concern .........I was able to find a replacement from a junkyard in KY. Vx kat sent me the link. It came from an ebony which had a very bad accident , but the window was in perfect condition.
    The price for the window plus shipping was 100
    The price for the instalation was 130
    ...after all , iam glad that my vx looks great again !!
    have a good day!
