My local glass guy was able to acquire one without too much issue. I'd do some calling around, they still exist.

@GtiKyle would you mind disclosing the price you paid? My seals are shot front and back and I'm dying to replace them. But with front and rear glass in very short supply and the prices seeming insane, I'm weary to try replacing the seals.

May not be a bad idea once I find a replacement

@Nemo128 I want to say the glass was $250ish, but i haven't gotten the final bill yet since the cars at the body shop still. I called a national chain and they quoted me $325 installed and they had the glass available.

That sounds about right, the windshield is usually available....Mazda still has the OEM windshield for about $550 but I don't think the hatch glass is available anywhere new.
I sell complete hatch lids with glass for $450 but don't ship them.

I paid around $275 just about two months ago. Only tint available was blue. I did supply a new Mazda trim tho so that was a little discount.

I called several places and they all could get one, just varying prices.

this is correct. i think there was a later (96+) rear glass part number that still worked, but shipping from Japan would be probably a deal breaker

what part # are you using for the OEM windshield that's still available? I asked Mazda a few weeks ago and was told they're sold out. I even called Ray. I prefer OEM over aftermarket.

the 94 glass is available, FD15-63-900. they don't have any in the USA, but that just means you get a long(er) wait

yea, that’s the part # I’ve been providing to a few Mazda dealers (and Ray), but they’re all saying it’s discontinued. Is there a way for a dealer to see Japan stock and “order” from them? I don’t mind the wait from Japan because paint won’t be done til fall

I would be interested in that as well. Maybe we can get a group buy going or something.

I see several windshields on Buyee/YAJ, but have not looked at the shipping cost. Perhaps try Jesse Streeter Corporation.

same. Again, they are relatively affordable, green/blue Tint.. but shipping is a bear. Streeter is way cool, use him a bunch

There was a post of Facebook a few months back with a shop that had like 30+ repop windshields made. Believe they were in Great Lakes area but could be wrong.

Sadly not, and with how terrible it is to search Facebook I doubt I would be able to find it. Would probably have better luck just searching Google
