Thanks Hockeyedwards, checked it out and indeed the glass is available for around £1400 delivered. Cheaper than Pilkington by 3.5k!! I love this car...but when is enough enough?? Was offered £4500 a year ago due to condition and mileage but could not bear to part with it. Had it since 2010, a friend's dad had it from new (Still have the bill of sale £49,000) and gave it to me for 2k as he could no longer drive and due to the oil price/fuel crisis at the time couldn't give it away and just wanted it to go to a good home. Find it hard to stomach Lexus rendered it obsolete after just 17 years. The glass is available in Japan so you would think they would, at their discounted cost, get a few over to the UK as broken windows are getting more common especially with all the tarmac breaking up causing chips the size of conkers to kick up! Anyway, no good ranting, may have to take the £2100 insurance write off up the chuffer and move on. Was considering a SC but this has made me think again.... Hmm 🤔 may get tempted by a low mileage 460 though!! Have a good evening. 😎

Thanks Chaps, will try classic cars. Pilkington glass can make one but as it would be a one off it's around 5k!! I was wondering if anyone knew of someone who specilises in Lexus salvage.

Hi, my beloved LS400 in great nick with only 60k on the clock rear windscreen shattered. Autoglass can't get one and so far all other routes have come up blank. Got in touch with Lexus where I just had the two steering ball joints, service and MOT and they have confirmed the glass is obsolete...It would break my heart to have to write it off via my insurance, I have had the car 11 years, had 30k on it at the time and I still have the original bill of sale (£49,000) from Lexus Sidcup. Anybody out there have any ideas where a rear windscreen may be obtained?....Thank you.
