Rear hatch?

Last night someone tried to steal an old amp and cheap subs out of the back of my 7. They didn't get anything but now I have no glass. Is it possible to get just the glass, or do I have to get a complete hatch from a junk yard?

Ouch. That sucks. I'm pretty sure you're going to have to buy the entire thing. That's alot of contoured glass to replace and it probably wouldn't be worth it to try to just put in the glass. Besides since, the glass is structural, the replacement might actually weaken the hatch.

not to mention its the largest piece or glass made in automobile production in Japan (as of the end of the FC's reign that is, not sure if the record still stands)

but even if you could get JUST a replacment glass its cheaper from a yard...hell Ive got 3 right here - 125 canadian - TAKE ONE PLEASE!! lol

Or you could go with a wisesports hatch, kinda looks like a notchback. Saves weight, but it's 432 UDSD+shipping.

christ i hate theifs...i caught a guy right after he stole the stereo outta my old truck...chased him through the parking lot...excitement ensued...ultimately i almost got shot...i hate stockton too

even if you could just replace the glass i'll bet you it'd cost the same a whole new hatch...
