Re: I hate people. Where to get new door window?
Had thew same thing happen to me a few years back but the intention seemed to be theft.
At the time I was in a small town with little available, so I had a friend take me to one of the few junkyards 45 minutes away and I ended up paying way too much for the glass I needed. When I got home and wiped the dust off I found out it was scuffed and scratched. I was desperate to get the truck fixed though and I had very little money to begin with. If you go to junkyard, beware that the 80's trucks had thinner glass and a different size roller track. Again, this is another area where I messed up. I had to make the thin glass work with the original window track.
In hindsight, I probably I would have ended up paying just a tiny bit more and ended way ahead if I had bought new glass from a shop and installed it myself.
If you do go to a junkyard, bring some windex and paper towels to clean off the thick layer of dust. Make sure it's not too scratched, or if you can live with it use that to bargain the price down. Make sure the window and track are correct for your truck.
