Default Busted out my left rear glass

YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I was loading 16 ft 2x6's through my slider and just brushed the lock side of the slider, but it's paper thin there and busted that side of the rear window.

I going to check prices, if I can get a stronger after market one for not much more than replacing the factory one.

Any advice guys

We just had to replace the entire thing....couldn't find anyone who would just replace the pains because of the way the glass is set into the frame or some fool thing.



We went w/ factory Mopar because it was the best prices & it was the right tint.

Good luck man!!

I found rear windows for 179.00 power for 479.00, I need to check what's in town and for what price.

I know one thing if I do put stock back in or anything close to it I'm going to find a way to makethe glass stronger, so this doesn't happen again so easy.

I was thinking of some lexan strips bonded to the glass on either side of the opening to reinforce, I had the power slider and did this all the time in my DAK and never broke the window and hit it harder than I did this one, more than once over 12 years I owed the DAK

They make a bomb or blast resistant film like they use for tinting... only a lot thicker. Federal buildings have been getting back fitted with this film for the past few years. The new Federal building are being built with blast resistant glass.

Aren't you in Florida? They have hurricane resistant glass requirements for houses, so maybe there is some backfit materials to look into.

She let her ole man borrow her truck and that is what she came home to. He drove his ATV into it. He is now on punishment and is sitting in the corner.

wouldnt be helpful if hes loading stuff through the slider... it would just get in the way... otherwise it would be a good idea
