Cheap. I had the small rear one smashed from a whipper snipper and it cost that organisation $880.00!

Go to one of the small independant auto glass suppliers and they will cut one for you if it is flat or even one of the
places that do modifications on trucks as in sleeper cabs and the like, Quite often they just cut a hole in the fibreglass and get windows cut to suit, they will be able to put you on the right track a hell of a lot cheaper than any of your quotes.

I have had a rear and a side one smashed on the Cruiser but the insurance co. picked up the tab both times. I am allowed one glass per year without affecting no claim bonus.
The rear one that my lawnmower handle went through was $800 odd.

front and to a lesser extent rear windows are a faaaar different beast to side windows. People hardly smash them so aftermarket ones are not worth making as such they are usually factory only($$$) My mums Huyundai was broken into by side window and From memory that was over $400 dollars over 10 years ago

Wow,
Imagine how much the passenger side one would be as it contains one of the radio aerials.

I did the small rear window on the pootrol from a rock bouncing off the Jayco. Nissan quoted $770.00 NOT FITTED. These rear windows come from the factory in Japan with the rubber moulding permanantly attatched.
I went to the local windscreen place who said if he could cut the rubber off without breaking it, it would cost me $400.00, but if the seal broke I would be up for a genuine one.
He cut the seal off perfectly and I am happy about that.

Drinky,
I have a 80series cruiser and had to replace one of the resr cargo windows. Toyota wanted close to $800, Wreckers wanted $350 for a 2nd hand one.
Call O'briens...............they came out to
my home and installed a new one for $145! All i had to do was get it tinted.......another $25
