Replacement Glass

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

New to the forum, but I have been a Levin driver for nearly 7 years. I've been very happy with the car, although I recently passed it on to my wife in favour of a used Lexus. Still not sure I made the right decision... :rolleyes:

Anyway, yesterday some b*****d decided he didn't like the look of the passenger door glass and heaved a chair through it. :censor: Can anyone suggest a suitable source for a replacement? We have full comp insurance, but I'm not sure if we'd have to source the part ourselves as it's an import. Also, if I can source the part cheap enough I'll likely not bother with a claim as the excess is pretty high anyway.

FYI, it's an M reg (94?) Corolla Levin SJ Limited.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look on eBay as ther were a couple on there the other day at breakers yards, Might save you a few quid. Just type in levin and you should find them.

Good luck.

I've got an N plate 3 door Rolla that I'm breaking at the moment. Will be gone later in the week though.

If you think the doors on that may be same as your Levin then let me know.

I think it's a long shot though - are the Levin doors frameless like the Celica? The Corolla has framed doors.

PS - check your insurance policy - some don't apply the excess in the case of glass breakage - or else have a much lower excess for glass compared to the full excess.

Hi,

I'm very interested in the glass, thanks for letting me know. Here's a picture of my Levin, does the glass look anything like yours?

The glass is framed, not frameless, and is tinted green/blue. And yes, you're right - the excess on the glass is MUCH lower.

Hi, not sure about the tint.

According to the sales brochure it has tinted glass.

But it's a very light tint. Hard to show in pictures - but here goes.

I'd say that in practice the tint looks darker than these photos show, but not much.
