Then go to a glass shop and buy one.

windshields and rear windows are not designed to come out clean. they are designed to be broken out and replaced. the removal procedure to cut the silicone and get it off the body of the car has an 80% failure rate, because it wasnt meant to be done.

also FYI: most glass shops refuse to install a used front or rear glass due to weakness and hairline surface damage in the removal. If you are lucky enough to find someone that will attempt removal OR installation. they will not warrenty the install and will tell you upfront "I'm probably going to break it.... and your S.O.L. if i do"

i think for lexus you will not find a aftermarket rear glass, the front windshield is available aftermarket. IT might be a dealer item.

Both the front and rear windows are important STRUCTURAL pieces supporting the roof. Don't fool with used glass.

i have removed a few windsheilds, and my method is guitar string with a back and forth motion to cut the silicone. You will need two people and a lot of thin guitar string, and PATIENCE.

thanks for your responses... i ended up going to a glass shop and getting it for $350, instead of actual price of $850(don't ask).... and after watching them replace the window, i understand why it's so hard to take out an unbroken window....
all I have to say is, why are lexus/toyota windows so damn expensive? dayam~
