ninjaseikai Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 unfortunately the passenger side glass on my 87 brat got shattered the other day and I really need to find a replacement. all the glass shops around Denver say it's going to be impossible.my parts brat had a window from CR laurence but their website doesn't seem to list brat windows or any way to sell them to individuals. and sadly that window too got shattered. any and all help is appreciated.

SuperBrat Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yah the glass is curved did the same thing years ago with a block of wood and had to wait it out to find a junkyard brat...i was able to get the half i needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Yep, they are no longer available anywhere. I never noticed they were curved though. :\ I'll have to look at mine. lol Edit: Yep. Just checked and son of a b*tch if it isn't ever so slightly curved.... The curve depth is about a 1/4 inch. Worst case scenario is you'd have to pull the rear assembly, remove the glass, 'flatten' the frame, get 2 pieces of flat glass cut and then readjust the sheet metal in the back wall to fit the frame. It could be done, I've had a few of those back walls out completely. The seals were still available aftermarket like a year or so ago.

thornleyjacob Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Be careful replacing that glass... the seals are also stupid rare to find in decent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjaseikai Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 here's an interesting fact some of you may liek to know. the CR laurence TSW1200S glass for an 90's ford ranger fits perfectly into a second gen brat. i called that junkyard they may be shipping it out to me, otherwise I'll be buying one of these if I cant find anything.

skishop69 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Really? Where did you find this info? Looked at the pics and IF it fits, you're going to have to remove their handles and locks and have the glass drilled for the Subie hardware.

ninjaseikai Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) i bought a parts brat not too long ago with a crl window. tried taking it out and broke it. called the guy and thats what he told me. theres no way to be 100% since theres no markings on the glass or frame but it was in there.
