Windshield replacement

[jrpamn21]

I need help in replacing my windshield. Are there any other Toyota models whose windshield dimensions match that of a Tercel Wagon? There is one locally made available here but i am sourcing for the authentic windshield. Would greatly appreciate your suggestions.

I know people who have done it, but I have never had luck with removing a windshields without damaging it. It seems the best source would be a wrecking yard (cheap), but there is the removing issue. These windshields are glued in place. Unless you have experience with it, I suggest you leave this to the people who do this for a living. Also consider that often the original Japanese glass was soft and easy to pit or etch, sometimes the local after market glass is better quality.

good luck

seconding petros and the junkyard. You can break the windshield in a junk yard car and as long as nobody sees you..well, no harm! Just sweep the glass away a lil bit with your foot.

Then try again. If you can manage to get it out, putting it in should be easy.

Google "Windshield Removal"

There are a few tools that make it easier too.

Appreciate your advise sirs!! The cracks started out as a barely noticeable 3mm diameter pit, which unfortunately I ignored for a while until it blossomed into a big fissure. Will carry on with my sourcing, thanks for the help!
