so my front seats are trashed and my back window is currently missing.

I found two front seats and the back window for $250 but i have to drive 180mi round trip to get them.

I was quoted $283 for a brand new back window from the stealership.


oh any I read the RAVE on how to remove and replace the window. ITs not very detailed any tips on how to get it out without destroying the seal or window?

90 miles each way? Thats all? Go for it.
A glass shop can install it for you for like $50.

I've paid less, BUT, the issue is not price, it is availability. Eventually all our trucks in the salvage yards will be crushed and melted. Prices of the odd part will climb. BTW, members near Savannah - LKQ in Garden City has a 2000 D2 black, with very good seats (front, rear, and jump) - just came on yard in the past few days. Bumpers gone already, plus left head lamp, fan clutch, thermostat. Bosch 130 amp alternator still on it.

Depends on how good the seats actualloy are. But 90 miles one way is not bad. Beats paying shipping on two seats.

You get the glass and the seats or you can just get a new window from LR, but then you got all their add ons as well, taxes, what about install?

It was $283 installed including tax, but I do need seats and if I dont feel confident enough to install the glass I have a neighbor that works for a glass company. (already asked, no they cant get my window for some reason). and I dont even mind some rips, Itll be better than sitting on duct tape encased foam

Which back window? one of the sides or the tailgate glass? If you can get just the glass and the seal all you need to do is get a friend and some soapy water to install it regardless if its the tailgate or the side lite..

The tailgate. I figured I need some special something or another to get it in. Im going tommorow to get it. Did the sd models come with power seats? He said they were leather but I forgot to ask if they were power.

If they are power nab the switches also, the wiring harness may already be there. If not, you can power up seat and move motors to one spot and leave it, while you work out wiring.

I have power seats so im assuming it'll be plug and play. Oh for the rear glass how does the upper stop lamp work? When my window shattered the lamp just fell. It wasn't attached to any wires. Does it get power through like the glass? Similar to the defroster or a in glass antenna.

Even if the third brake light isn't there or does not work, they had them in LED third eye brake lights on that recent thread where someone posted a link for LED lights.
