driver side glass?
Is there any place that sells the driver's side window?
So far I have only found one place selling the passenger side, but nothing for the drivers side.

Thanks. I looked at ecklers, zip, mid america, corvete central, corvette america, and a few more. I only found the passenger side at ecklers. I must have been looking in the wrong place or using a bad search term.

Check with your local auto glass replacement dealers and regular glass distributors. I found window glass in many of these places but the prices ranged from $179 to over $500 per window so shop and shop and shop.
I ended up with a pair of used ones for $75. They are by no means perfect but are a huge improvement over the gouged glass that was there. Got them from a used parts dealer in Panama City, FL.

The shops here claim they cant get it. I have no idea about markings on the corner of the glass, and I don't feel like trying to reconstruct it from thousands of pieces to try an find out.
PS
I'm also not going to count the pieces of glass to find out here many there are.

Give Jason a call at Vette2Vette 815-673-6200. He can answer any questions you might have and find you the correct glass.

Also try CF Supporting Vendor "See4parts" He's ;ocated in CA so if he has a door glass in stock, the shipping charges won't be as high as the various accessory catalogs.
Just make sure that you specify the year of the car when checking.
Is this an insurance claim by any chance? Glass replacement is typically covered under comprehensive coverage so the out of pocket expenses would be just the deductible and the glass company that does the work has the obligation to find a window and install it.

What year are you looking for I have both drivers and passenger side glass that I bought from Pat for a 1987 vert. I don't know if there is a difference from vert or coupe. Just sold my 87 vert so I don't need these. Will take $100.00 plus shipping for each.

I had not asked my insurance yet for various reasons. One of them was that I needed to replace the radiator before fixing the glass. It is covered I just need to pay my $100 deductible.
Go figure the person at the shop I talked to before said the glass was unavailable, but it really just said they have to call. Today I was told they should have the glass later today.
