jumblies Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hi, I have a 70 240Z project car and it's been in storage for, oh, lets say, 15 years. The back window was broken out and I'm having a devil of a time finding another. The regional scrap yards don't have any intact for the Z, and I'm thinking that lexan is going to be forced on me. My understanding is that the lexan req'd for competition offers no weight savings over the stock glass, but this is a little hard to believe. The defroster part matter, as it's a play car, not a daily driver. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, where to get old hatch glass or how people have gone about using lexan. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I have one available with the vertical defroster. Where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumblies Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Dang, I was working in scottsdale a year and a half ago. Too bad I didn't have the car then. I found a guy in town that can replace it with laminated glass for under $100, cut to fit. Really, about the same price as lexan without all the scratching. I've ordered a seal and will have them cut it and fit it into the hatchback, which is sitting on the floor in the garage. Thanks for your input.

HB280ZT Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Jumblies, Where in NC do you live? Here is a number to a Z yard in Virginia Beach, VA that has many Z's with good rear windows. Give Barry a call and see what he wants for one. East Coast Z 757-543-6608 HB280ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferd/289 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Try your local windshield distributor. These folks have an uncanny way of finding glass for almost any application cheap. I bought a new windshield for my '77 Z for $100. Junkyards were asking $125-150 for used ones. Look in the yellow pages under like your cities name, auto glass, I.E. Charlotte auto glass. Its worth a try if you have not done this. Ferd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
