where to order new rear vent window glass?

My 4 month old 2010 corolla was broken into last night in a quite busy neighborhood, smashed the rear triangular vent window glass, got away with a bag of pennies and quarters, nothing visible were in the car but dirty tissue and empty plastic bags. went to various auto site to find the replacement glass, no success.



Then headed to the dozens of auto glass shop near Willets Point CITI field, one guy quotes me 70, then went to another quote me 110, asked why such difference, he said he has the this model of glass and that guy with 70 is from 09 model, don't fit exactly. Won't even show me the glass. Is there such thing?



Anyone know where to get the original glass if there is one.







Thanks

Glass from an 09 is the same as the 10. FYI - have your windows tinted as it will make it harder to see inside your car & it adds strength to the glass. On my old 82 Tercel someone kept trying to break the window with a steel bar of some sort. I could even see where they were hitting the glass but it didn't break with the added strength of the tint.

I can't believe tint adds that much stength to windows

I don't see why the glass wouldn't fit, there weren't any cosmetic changes between the '09 and '10 models.



I'd say go for it.

I'd go for the lower priced one. They have to fit it properly to your satisfaction so you can pay him.

I've been told that you would be surprised at how much extra strength it add against impact. My alarm would go off after he hit the window once & he would take off but the window didn't break. Like I said though, you could see where the bar hit the glass as it put a good size mark in the glass. I just know it made a difference in my case & I asked several people after it happened & was told that the tint helped a lot. I just figure that it wouldn't hurt since I noticed that his windows were not tinted. If I didn't have an alarm that made him run off I'm sure that he could have broken it with several hits but he tried every night for more than a week before giving up.
