| Need help/advice on replacing my jdm window
So some dick less piece of shit decided to smash my driver side window of my S15. I'm not at a loss as to how to replace the damn window other than sacrificing my left nut to order from japan. I've called a few tuner shops, import dealerships, junkyards and none have an answer for me. Tried eBay searching, most come up with the window motor, switches etc.
Anyone ever had to deal with shit like this for their jdm car? Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I'm h-core JDM, go find in one in the us or get a lexan window made (Don't ask me if this is legal, I'm H-core). You can also take a similar window and cut it if you're h-core (are you?).
When you JDM, be prepared to pay and take 5 times as long to get anything done. I've spent 4 years looking for one part.

Get ahold of Josh at Hi-Rev autowrecking in Armstrong, he deals pretty much exclusively in JDM parts. Hi Rev Performance - HOME

I am sorry that your window was smashed, my car has been broken into twice in 6 months door lock is now unusable and door is bent.
This is the thing that puts me off owning a JDM car, I would be OK with the fact I have to wait and pay extra for parts living elsewhere in Canada, but here in Vancouver its almost guranteed your car will be broken into.
Did they steal anything or where they just looking around?
Im thinking about printing off a sign "No money in here please don't smash my windows/break into my car"

Yup, you had to have considered that when buying a JDM car. Windows are always gonna be an issue.
I would assume you are on some other forums for the S15? You should ask there. If not, check with Right Drive in Ontario. If they don't stock them, they can order one from Japan via shipping container. Cheaper but could take a while.

Ok cool thanks. I assumed hassle for shit but didn't think I'd deal with window smashers. Anyhoo, thanks. I'll give it a shot

Check out S15 owners groups on facebook and Gumtree.co.uk, they are breaking them constantly and Im sure someone will help you.
