Need advise to change broken glass on 1995 RR Classic tailgate

Jun 05, 2007 10 Replies

Good day...



The tailgate glass of my 1995RR Classic has a crack. I want to replace it with a new glass. The frame is in perfect condition with no rust. Is it replacable?.. How hard is to replace it? Did anyone have the same problem? I need your advice please..



Thanks for your time.... Cheers,



It's covered on your insurance & i wouldn't want to take one apart!

I've done one the other way round and it isn't impossible. Can't say that I enjoyed the experience either.

Your biggest problem might be getting the glass on its own. I'd suggest dismantling the old unit and examining it in detail before buying the glass - the frame may not be as good as you think.

I've got a spare tailgate glass if you want one.

and I've got a rotten tailgate with glass somewhere abouts. Depends where you are in the country really - glass is generally easy the frames are more difficult!

This might be of help:

Although having looked at the page I find that it is not helpful at all. Sorry!

I did find one that had excellent instructions on how to dismantle and rebuild a top tailgate. I'll post it if I find it.

IIRC replacing vehicle and/or tailgate was seen as a less nerve-wracking option :-)

Please do I have more than a little inkling I will be needing it shortly.

Sorry Derek, been through more anonymous bookmarks than I thought possible, but without success. I always have good intentions about giving them meaningful names :-(

I know just what you mean I started arranging my landy links a couple of weeks back and found a surprising number of duplicates couple more weeks and I should be able to find stuff.would be handy if it turns up. Derek "memory loss means never having to say sorry"

I've also got a good tailgate glass, (in a rotten tailgate), free if anyone wants it. Its in Kent.
