Same window glass used in FR-S, BRZ or 86?
 

Car got broken into, passenger side window glass was broken. Autocross helmet and tire air pressure gauge stolen. The movable window was broken, not the small one.



Insurance company sent window repair service that only had non-OEM glass and did not look the same (thinner and less tint).


My car is a 2016 Black FR-S and there is a slight tint on the windows from factory. I believe this tint is on all models and colors but would like to confirm.


Can anyone confirm all BRZ, FR-S / 86 windows are the same from factory?



Anyone knows best place to buy replacement movable windows? Need passenger side.



Are there equivalent non-OEM alternatives (same tint, glass thickness, etc)? Maybe glass supplier sells direct.

Yeah there is definitely an anti UV coating on the factory glass, you are right to be wary of aftermarket. Check junkyards, ebay, pick n pull etc.

Well, that's a shame your car was broken into - :(

Lesson learned?

As far as OEM replacement glass, I would think almost any auto glass replacement company could fix you up. I suggest you call around.

BRZ glass is heavier because it has more sound deadening.

Really?

:popcorn:

I read it on facebook.

It's glass bro. Your overthinking a simple fix.
Only thing you have to think about is how much you want to spend. If insurance is being used let them preplace it with oem.
If you are paying out if your own wallet any cheap replacement will do the same exact job.

I almost learned something today. Close call.

:slap: You just can't believe everything you see on Facebook!

For example, this is my picture on Facebook - :happyanim:

I don't believe that's you only because I've never heard a 'back in the day' story from anyone that looks close to that.

You know they can now shape the fat to look like abs.

Oh, OK, you got me - :(

Here is the real me.

I'm going to forward that abs ad on to @Ultramaroon , just think of the abs he could have - :eyebulge:

That makes sense. Isn't this forum about overthinking everything about these cars?

i never thought you were enough of a gun nut to keep a round a necklace

Oh, that's not a bullet, that's a crocodile tooth. When I was down in Panama, a croc tried to bite me, so, I pried its mouth open, broke its jaw and bashed that tooth out …. with my bare hands …. :paddle:

Oh, we (the forum collective) is just thorough - :D

If you been here long enough you'll read some "interesting" posts.
I could ponder why most thoughts are because of a lack of a male role model that can't understand the concept of a wrench. But I digress.

Oh, let's not be too hard on some of the folks, maybe not everyone got one of these as a toddler - :iono:


:D

Piff, I'm hard for everyone...... wait... that didn't sound right. But you know what I mean :cheers:
And for the record my daddy would have slapped up side the head if he saw me play with toy tools. He was cool enough to let us play with real tools. And by play I mean child labor.

I glad to say I made a dog house when I was 6. And I didn't even have a dog.

"Finish the dog house, son, and then we will talk about getting a dog"!
