Hi all, this morning started bad. Drunken teenagers ( i heard them passing through the street in the night) broke my rear window, Nothing missing, just broken the glass. Try finding one here in the Netherlands  .....So i would like to know if anyone knows a nice example around. If i cant find one overhere, we will be doing some business. And does a LTD window fit too? From 73 to 78?

That really sucks. Best lf luck on your search, as that'll be hard to find. It might be a good idea for every wagon owner to keep a stock pile of extra rear glass/rear side glass, an extra tailgate, etc. ------------- Griffin 1973 Gran Torino station wagon 1972 Gran Torino 4 Door 1971 Maverick 2 Door |

Hi John, Discovery Channel could make a programm out of it to rescue that window ;) If I really cantfind one easier I remember this one, go on a expidition with just a screwdriver and a 13mm socket wrench. I made a provisional one yesterday night, from only 2mm acryl, too thin but it fits and keeps the hole shut. Once you have the holefixation pattern at the bottom it a straightforward job.

According to my auto glass replacement software DB04733GTN is no defrost and fits 72-76 Torino and Montego 77-79 LTD II and 77 Cougar Wagon. DB04835GTN is with defrost and fits 73-76 Torino/Montego 77-79 LTDII and 77 Cougar wagon It doesn't appear that I can get one through my suppliers.

The 2nd one probably fits a '72, but rear defrost was a new option in '73. ------------- Griffin 1973 Gran Torino station wagon 1972 Gran Torino 4 Door 1971 Maverick 2 Door |
