Default Moonroof replacement glass cost?

so I found this 93 SC400, noticed some differences in the 95 I saw last night.

No outside temp, no traction/heated seats, otherwise everything was identical, only this 93 was in credible shape.

The problem was the moonroof glass is cracked down the middle, doesn't leak but needs to be replaced.

how much does it cost to replace the glass on the moonroof? best place to do it and so on?

What is the dealer cost / indep. repair cost to have it done? whats involved etc..

thanks for your input..

Hey man,

Contact Vredyiknot ( not sure how to spell it) - he has one that I am sure he would make u a good deal on. This is not something I would go to Lexus about.

Good luck,
Jonny

I saw one on ebay for $99 ends in 4 days, dealer said glass is $900, and labor is a unit of work.

probably better of buying the glass privately and having someone install it.

i sent you a pm, replacing the glass is a 10 minute job if you have a screwdriver and a 10mm socket.
