Hello together,

my rear screen is broken, where do I get a new one ?

I calles Toyota and they said to me, that it is discontinued.

I just found the Lexan rear screen, but did not read positive reviews about it.

 

Any ideas hwat to do now?

 

Thank you in advance and have a good start in the new week

 

Regards from Germany

You need to pretty much wait till someone sells a tailgate with glass these days.

In the UK there are companies that will make new screens so long as they have scanned a template beforehand (one was featured making a rear screen on a UK TV restoration programme, Wheeler Dealers) so there presumably are similar companies in Germany or the Netherlands where there is a strong classic car culture. I cannot imagine its cheap though but with tailgate sellers asking £1k these days that's not going to be a cheap option either.

That's a no to that as far as I have seen.

It is a bit surprising seeing Autoglass do A70 glass but nowhere is there A80 glass available any longer apart from the odd US supplier quoting prices on glass that I doubt they actually hold in stock so it'd probably be a cancelled order anyway. There are quite a few companies in the US that will make curved laminated glass screens and at least one in the UK. Though the WD crew never reveal the companies they use in their makeovers so they aren't always easy to track down. I think, from my fading memory, it was the WD episode on a Marcus that needed a new rear screen and that is a very curved screen. They needed the old one to scan though, which might be a problem for our friend in Germany.
