New to this forum have a 1989 Dodge Dakota convertible four-wheel-drive. Looking for the passenger side window glass. New or used. Please help

 

Try LMC Truck or eBay.

 

Ebay or Car-Part.COM .

LMC doesn't have much for the Gen1 trucks.

There's a couple of 'vert owners here - maybe they can weigh in on if a standard cab glass will work. If so, then that'll help tremendously. (Don't take me saying it DOES, though! Typical luck, the 'vert is like .0025" smaller .... )

If glass from a non vert works I have one

 

Unfortunately standard cab glass doesn't work. Convertibles have separate, non-moveable glass at the front (looks like vent glass but isn't), and the rear of the glass extends to the rear door edge, so its very different.

Convertible Dak door glass is extremely rare, it will take a lot searching and serious money. Like $500 wouldn't surprise me.

 

I poked at the parts list; they're different part numbers, so I'd say no, they don't cross.

Alas.

You may have to find a glass shop that can make / cut custom glass for a 'vert; not only is the early Gen1 the "left handed red haired step child" of the aftermarket, the 'vert is the oddball in that group

Yeah, the glass is worth more than the door....and attempts have been made in the past to remake them but for whatever reason have never succeeded. If mine ever break, I guess it will become a permanent convertible.

 

Do you have a local Auto Salvage yard near you ? It will save shipping

 

Got the truck brand new when I was 17 ,gave it to my son when he graduated from high school,He got into a accident an I had to get a different door with the glass in it but showed up with no glass in it.thanx I'll keep searching

 

When I was in the service I wanted to be a welder so I chose 44b as my MOS. Anyway part of that training was to learn how to cut auto glass. They basically told us how and let us train ourselves.The flat stuff is easy just scratch each side and then squirt the solvent that helps the plastic sheet break and snap it. If you can find a window of the same curve and larger in size all you would need is a glass cutter and the solvent. EDIT I was starting to doubt myself this morning so I did a search and found these guys http://www.trivalleyautoglass.com/custom_cut_glass.cfm Maybe they can make you one or direct you to diy
