Replacement rear door window vandalized, replacement anywhere?
I have a 4dr JK that got vandalized in Denver last night. They broke the passenger side rear window. It's the smaller one (about 6"x18") that doesn't go up or down. I called around, everybody is quoting me 570$ for this window to be replaced. Anybody have ideas or had to get one of these replaced before? I called insurance but i have a 500$ deductible for it so that's pretty much worthless. Thanks

for that kind of money your better off looking for a used door from a wrecker just for the window, or try to fit a piece of plexy or get price for the replacement window from the dealer and install it yourself

One of my friends accidentally locked his dog in his jeep on a very hot day and we decided to break that window because we thought it would be the cheapest one to replace...WRONG.

Shit man for 500 bones you could buy a soft top.
Before the jeep I had a toyota truck.
Some dipshit did this to my tiny window as well. I ended up buying a sheet of 7/16 osb and cut a template two for each window with a jigsaw. Wrapped them tight with a rubber sealer material and drilled holes to carriage bolt them into the window surround which sandwiched the pieces into the window opening. Only cost about 60 dollars
Hopefully someone hooks you up man, 570 dollars is obscene

That's crazy. I'd likely try to do it myself with plexi-glass... or at least make a template and have a local glass shop cut up a real thing.
Wonder if you can get one out of a wrecked JK.

Just and update: I ended up deciding on a non OEM window that is not tinted and i will just get it tinted at a shop to match as close as possible. It is only 200$ for the non factory non tinted window. Sucks a big one. It was on Pennsylvania ave, a few blocks from colfax. I dont live there, but i was in the area that evening.
