Hey guy's, I shattered the drivers side window on my 1993 E 4wd extended van. Any ideas as to where I might find a new tinted window. Thanks

 

Ha, I just did the passenger side on a 94. Flung up a rock with the weedeater. Got it at Pic-A-Part for $10.

 

Damn, thats exactly what I did. Brand new gas weed eater first day I used it.

 

I just got rid of one!
Try your local scrap yard. If you want new it'll be expensive.

 

Ok so I located a window in wi. bieng shipped. How do I oinstall the new one. And what knid of goop do I use. Thanks

 

Are you talking about the glass in the driver's door? I think it's just bolted into the regulator.

 

No, it's the drivers rear quarter window in an extended e 4wd.

Sorry, that was not very clear from your original post.

If you remove the old window, you will find that the factory used a butyl rubber sealant that can be softened when heated. There is an ideal temperature at which to work with the stuff; it will peel right off of the metal frame. You should get the same stuff to seal the new glass. The last time I did this I got the sealant in the form of a long rope from my local auto parts store. I stuck it into a groove around the frame, and pressed the glass against it. You insert the little studs on the glass into the holes around the frame and gently tighten the nuts on the other side to draw the glass into place. Turn every nut a little at a time until the frame around the glass fits flush against the body work.

You will have to remove most of the interior trim from behind the driver's seat and back in order to get to the inside of the window frame to first remove the old glass and then install the new.

 

ok. Thanks. I haven't really looked at the problem. Just vacumed up the mess and taped some plastic to it . Tried to ignore it i was so mad. I've had the 93 e 4wd drive for five years now and only just turned 86,000. Kinda attached to the old Green Bean.

Should have gotten the butyl rope sealer. Unless it's really hot out, you can work it with your bare hands and have almost none stuck on you. It as a backing tape that you press on against the body work, then you peel it off. It doesn't ooze or drip like the stuff that you squeeze out of the tubes, and keeps its consistency forever.

Before you button up the interior, you might want to run water along the edges of the window from the outside and make sure none gets through inside.
