Thread: Defender Wagons - rear quarter windows

I replaced one last year. The glass from local LR dealer was about $80 and a windscreen place put it in for $65.

I checked the part out on the interweb. P/N MWC4716 4 mm glass, Glass-rear quarter, Tinted, back and got prices for genuine parts ranging from £35.99-£41.80 plus shipping, so around $100 landed here.

By comparison I thought I would get a price from Obrien’s Glass thinking it would probably be similar and I should support local. I priced a second hand one from a wrecker but it wasn’t tinted and that was $55 delivered and I could install myself. I read a thread here recently that these are surprisingly easy fit, and remove!!

After a number of emails including photos of the rear of the vehicle and telephone conversations they get back to me with a price. And this is using the genuine Land Rover part so we are comparing apples with apples, they apparently do not cut these but only use the genuine item..

The price was $585 fitted, marginally less if I went to my nearest branch.

Needless to say I won’t be proceeding with that offer.
