Help finding rear windshield destroyed by hail storm =(
Posted: June 28th, 2010, 1:44 am
Hi all ~
My sweet lil MX-3 was recently attacked by a vicious hail storm. Sadly, it did extensive damage. One major issue is, my rear windshield was completely shattered and broken out. I have called numerous glass companies. They all tell me the same thing..... MX-3 rear glass is no longer manufactured.
Next step was to call all the salvage yards in my area. Only ONE had MX-3's at all. Those of us who buy them tend to love and keep them! I had planned to buy the rear glass and have it installed in my vehicle. However, now I'm being told that won't work either because the salvage vehicles are all base models. My car is the V6 model, which has a rear windshield wiper.
I am hoping someone here will be able to tell me where to find a replacement windshield, or if the base model glass will fit my lovely car after all. Until I have new windshields (along with other repairs), I am completely car less. =(
Car Stats : Black 1992 Mazda MX-3 GS V6 DOHC 5-Speed : Hail storm destroyed rear windshield (with defrost & wiper), front windshield also shattered, body damage, etc.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
Warmest Regards ~
