Back Ordered Glass :(

In the last week, I got a rock thru my windshield and had my rear diver’s window smashed in a breakin. Both pieces of glass are on back order. I was told 4-12 weeks……

Anyone else experience lead times like this?

 

Unrelated, was your JBL speaker stolen?

 

Negative. Was in a lighted hotel parking lot. Nothing taken.

 

I waited 6 weeks for my windshield.

 

I just had my windshield replaced last week. I made the appointment 5 days before. No issues getting a OEM windshield. Believe the woman said the glass was in the $700 range. I am in the North East!

 

I think you are right...I just did a quote through Safelite for the fun of it. Without insurance it was $750 installed.

 

That’s terrible to have to wait so long on a newer or new vehicle

 

OEM glass? Im guessing the OEM pilkington stuff might be backordered, honestly I have had better luck with the Fuyko or whatever chinese owned stuff in my truck now. I see the 4th gen is just as vulnerable to cracked windshields as the 3rd gen.

 

I think it is very dependent on location and dealership. I was in need of a windshield. First dealership said they were backordered out of Kentucky (I'm west coast) and couldn't even put me on a list. The second dealership I called 20 minutes away was able to locate one the next state over and had it delivered two days later.
Makes no sense.

 

I got the windshield repaired but still wanted a new one since it’s so new. The back door glass it what is frustrating. It’s been raining a lot in Texas so I can’t drive it much.

 

It's like you can't disrupt the supply chain, even if you wanted to there's no way for Toyota to get you parts.

 

The fuyko in my Wrangler has lasted 3 years and not one chip or crack. The 4 OEMs before that lasted 6 to 8 months.
