A few weeks ago you could get nearly every peice of glass for our Torana's but now they only list a rear screen for the lc model.
Pretty lame I reckon, like if none of us are ever going to break some glass on our cars or need new restoration glass.
Does any one know what the go is with this or am I winging for no reason.
Im really dissapointed as I was just about ready to purchase a rear screen and quater glass for my car but now I have to go shopping elsewhere.
So does anyone know where to purchase Torry glass from at the same price or cheaper than rarespares, would be greatly appreciated.
I cant see how they call themselves rare spares if you cant get rare spares!!! what!!!
I'll take all my winging back if this was just a website error, I hope so.
Cheers

O'Brians had a rear hatch screen about 6 months ago but that is it.
Rares have been selling the Veh glass hatchback stuff, not Obriens - VehGlass keep telling me they will be doing new stuff shortly but havn't done it yet.
They did have a hatch rear screen too last time I rang them but I want one without the demister so I didn't get it.
You have just reminded me, I might ring them and check again tomorrow as I haven't checked with them for a couple of months.

They are working on the rear 1/4 windows now.
They will not be doing rear screens.
I found a guy in NSW that will custom make rear screens in Laminated glass if you want them. Let me know and i will post his details.
I might do this soon, but I am going to try Polycarbonate first, if i am not happy, i may arrange for rear a laminated rear screen.

It's not that we wanted to drop the glass , we had so many problems with the manufacturer which in turn caused customer complaints we had no choice. We are now looking at OS suppliers for complete sets of glass but as always we have a lot of products in front of the glass.

You could even use laminated for door glass since it runs in the bailey chanel, it won't break when you shut the door. The rear 1/4's wouldn't handle laminated glass though, too much load on them as they compress the rubber when they shut.

Yeah they are originally toughened - no reason you can't use laminated though if that is all you can get - it still meets the australian standard. It is easy to get screens out without breaking them when you do it he right way - basically the reverse of installing them with the bit of insulated wire.

Real bummer when you can't buy new glass though - I don't like having to use second hand if I have a choice.

Can anyone tell me where I could buy a new hatch window, rare spares don't have it on their parts list. Has anyone tried O'brians as stated above?
The one I have now has four bad scratch marks from a blade from someone trying to remove the louvre attachments. Can the scratches be cleaned up or is the window buggered.

He might still have it

Why cant the original manafacure Pilkington do a re run. They trade under viridian glass and would probably still have to moulds or know where they were sold too.
The remanafactured glass looks crap when the put big black lines around the glass, theres no nead for it.

Hey guys,
We sell Hatch rear screens here at Vehglass.
With a demister on a factory green tint rear you're looking at $550 RRP
You can get just plain green factory tint @$540 with our AUS approved DOT 601 stamp. Alternatively, you can get just plain clear @$490
Hope to help you guys out,
Jenn
