    Looking at a used LEER shell. Right side glass and shocks need replacement. No luck so far finding the glass. How much does it cost to get the replacement glass and fix the shocks?

    :redxfall: picture is not working

    But my shocks were about 20 bucks to replace from ebay and my back window glass was $350. I'd say the side window may be around $200

    I had to have my back glass replaced at a shop , since it is a frameless back glass they had to measure it and send the info to the factory Century (ARE) took about 2 weeks to get it . The shocks are easily replaceable locally or online just look at the information on the shock and find the appropriate weight lift and length and done. When my back glass broke I fabricated an alum one (See Album) till I got the new glass you can probably do the same thing . I will say this the back glass on a double cab with rear camera I really can't see much through the dog crate etc back there so having it solid alum did not matter to me at all. You could get away with making your side cap windows solid probably and save money especially if you wheel. Just a thought. I also found out when my back glass shattered that my glass coverage from state farm paid for a new one only cost me 50 bucks, I was sweating the cost as originally quoted $540.00 for a new window which is 1/3 the cost of a new cap!!

    Mine was $350 installed. I got mine from a local leer dealer as you cannot order the glass online (at least for the back window). If you have a local leer dealer I'd go over there and get a quote

    That's a leer 100xq. I hear those side glass replacements are expensive! Check with your local leer canopy dealer.

    Almost any NAPA, PepBoys, Kragen, AutoZone or whatever you have in your town stocks the shocks (really gas springs) and they're cheap.
