most glass shops around where i live will sell you one a tinted on for 200 to 240 dollars. I use Binswanger. Their in many states. They didn't even have to order it.
They only pay around 80 to 90 dollars for these ,some of the workers have told me.The biggest problem is getting a quality gasket that fits. Some make it next to impossilble to get the glass in. I used to put my own in but its easier(and cheaper HA)
if a pro does it. I bought one once from a shop called "out back truck parts for $200 (2003)and it was actually made in america) most it seems most are made in mexico.
dont' pay anywhere near $1300
One of the differences in glass is that replacement glass most times are not the quality of factory. Even on 2000 up vehicles. they work fine. sometimes may have a little tiny wave in the corner but still good. maybe slightly thinner but when you get 4- 5 chips a year in them why buy high dollar. If your doing a 100% concourse condition restoration you need the original glass.
