Doortop windows - Rubber between the two panes of glass - Land Rover parts supplier. Window channels - Land Rover parts suppliers.

There are a number of LR suppliers across Australia that could help.

Sourcing from the UK was the cheapest but with freight charges rising dramatically and lead time unknown probably best to try local. At some point the local prices may also rise as they are hit by higher freight costs.

Thanks Colin

Hi Colin.

I can get the glass for driver and passenger door from british auto parts but I couldn’t find one that can supply the rear glass.

Do you know any land rover supplier that sell them?

Which 'rear glass' ?
Hardtop sides, catflap, two small rear windows ?

Not sure you'll find them stocked anywhere, they would be a very slow moving item. People have had them cut from laminated glass and the Automotive Mark applied, just need to track down a glass supplier that will do this and provide them with a template.

I have a pair of hardtop side complete with glass that are surplus to requirements.

Not sure if that would pass a roady, if it had been perspex originally it might be OK.


Colin

If you go down the Perspex track make sure you put masking tape on booth sides of the Perspex if it dose not have the film on it so it dose not chip.

Just remembered this thread :-

Windscreen Glass Supplier ?

Century Glass in Ringwood but you need a template.

VK3UTE had standard laminated glass cut and it was rejected on a roadworthy, he then had to get 'Automotive' glass cut & fitted.
The difference seems to be ground edges so that cracks don't propagate and the etched Automotive Mark.
