Need some help in the LA area - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im military and recently PCS'd to Hawaii (poor me right) Figured it would be awesome to cruise the blazer topless along the north shore

. So I got my blazer shipped the only problem is it arrived at the port in LA and the drivers side double wall top glass is broken and she has a dead battery. The shipping company WILL NOT put it on a boat with a broken window or without it running. So now my baby is just sitting in a lot in South Gate CA (LA i guess) waiting, waiting, waiting. It is a helpless feeling. We have been trying to work both issues but it is proving to be difficult to do from the middle of the ocean. I have found someone to go change the battery and the glass but the glass is special order from the east coast. I dont want here sitting in a lot far away at all, let alone for a couple weeks waiting on special order glass. So after my long sob story does anyone have a drivers side rear glass for a 72 blazer locally in or around LA? I need to get this fixed and get my baby on a boat. Please help

Man that sucks - I wish I could help but I'm a long ways away. Will they allow it on the boat if the window is taped up or some other temp repair (cardboard or plywood)? Maybe the person that charges the battery can talk them into it (or slip them some cash!)

Best of luck to you and thank you for your service!

No they wont let it on the boat at all until it is fixed. Its kinda crappy.

Also the battery is going to have to get changed. They got it jumped and its not charging

luckily, the glass is flat and if you can come up with a template (or the window out of the other side) many glass shops could cut one for you. you may have to specify that you want that greenish tint to the glass also.

Brad what's the current status? Did you locate glass? Pete

He PM'd me about some top glass I had posted up a while back. I replied to him indicating that I still had the glass but was going to use it, but would sell it if he needed it. He has not replied back. I think he is looking for someone to install the glass as well, which I told him I was not interested in doing.

Check. I've got some spare top glass for a 2x wall top.
