    No myth - dot above the 'h' in 'toughned' - therefore 5 as in 95 Disco

    Hi Grant the rear Windows are different.
    The element connectors are in a different locations & the high level stop lamps are mounted differntly.
    Best to try a wrecker as suggested, my father in law picked one up a couple of years ago for $80.. This wasnt a LR speciallist wrecker either so it may pay to hunt around. Shouldnt cost more than $100 to fit as it is just a rubber seal no sealant.
    Hope this helps.

    I had the same thing happen to me when mine was only one month old - a brick through the back window - unfortunately the brick also hit the door frame and dented itwhere the seal is near the top - it was $1300 to put a new genuine glass ans panel beat the frame - paint etc etc etc.

    I claimed on car insurance and then switched insurance companies who did not recognise it as a claim - so only cost me the $350 excess and no increase in premiums - infact AAMI was over $100 a year cheaper than GIO.

    My suggestion is a door from the wreckers or ebay but then you have the cost of paint - if you are lucky you might get just the glass. A specialist antique car glass company like autoglass in Sydney might be able to help but it might cost.

    Keep in mind that the pre-update 94 glass won't have the brake light in it. As for the coding system in the glass, all mine match even though the second hand tailgate glass is from a car 3 years newer.

    Got myself a back window; even 1995, with the dot at the 'h', and tinted. Prices went as follows - guess who won -

    $700 new glass fitted from Windscreen O'Brien,
    $660 second hand glass fitted from Windscreen O'Brien,
    $330 supply only, from "a 4by4 wreckers", and,
    $110 supply only from West Coast Rover, ph 94596812, 1704 Albany Hwy Kenwick, south of Royal St..

    Now to fit it - talcum powder & string the way to go ??

    Cheers,

    Grant
