DMY23 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 My week has been ruined, I woke this morning to find that some little twat has broken into my Supra by smashing in the quarter light window. I'm absolutely fuming[ANGRY][/ANGRY]. Quick question for the forum, my Supra is an aerotop and I think I remember reading somewhere on here that aerotops have slightly different quarter light fittings than a hardtop, is this true? If so, do you think I will be able to get a replacement from toyota as its a Japanese model? Thanks in advance guys. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 What do you mean by quarter light? Do you mean the red rear quarter marker or are you talking about the window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 What do you mean by quarter light? Do you mean the red rear quarter marker or are you talking about the window? As above, not sure what you mean by rear quater light, if you mean the side marker or the rear quater window, then no, it's the same as far as I am aware.

The small window next to the door window, always thought they were called quarter light windows on coupes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yes the glass is different on the aero - I presume it is stronger. The glass is also a different colour between the pre-facelift and facelift models. Your local Toyota dealer will be able to order the correct new glass if you give them the car details from the VIN plate in the engine bay.

Scott Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Can't say I have heard of that, narrows down the search though If you can access toyodiy.com (I can't in work) you should be able to see if there are different part numbers for the quarter glass. Might be difficult identifying it due to the lack of drawings now but there is a proxy server to get them back if you do a little search on here Edit: too slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get down to my local Toyota dealer this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Did you have anything taken or was it just broken for the hell of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMY23 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Did you have anything taken or was it just broken for the hell of it? I haven't had a proper look at it, as the maintenance guys in my building suggested I wait until police get here, but I can see that they haven't taken my Alpine stereo, which puzzles me as that is one of the most valuable items in the car. So at the moment it doesn't look like they've taken much, it's just pain in the ass, and I get angry when someone hurts my pride and joy.

Maybe they just elbowed it as they walked past out of jealousy. If I saw/caught someone doing anything to my Supra, they better enjoy being a woman because they wouldn't have their balls much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the items that was taken was a white and grey camo ski jacket, which is very recognisable, so if I see them I will be having a quiet word with them.

Looks like I'm not the only victim, there is at least another three cars in our car park that were broken into last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If they didn't try to nick the car or stereo then it will have been a crack head looking for something to sell quick to get a fix. Don't have the brains to know how to take a car or take the dash apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The clue for me is that, if you smashed the rear quarter glass, could you infact reach the handle on the door to open it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHandy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Brace your self they are £160 + fitting mate. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Brace your self they are £160 + fitting mate. :-( Glass Excess!? Doesn't affect NCB and should only be around £60 which includes fitting...I've had to claim two windscreens in the past 5 years on it and hasn't been an issue!?
