Friend has a problem!
My friend has a 90' coupe and the rear hatch glass blew out. He needs some guidence on how and how much to replace the glass. Do-it-yourself or let the Pros do it, cost of replacement glass and gasket, and any shops in Central PA that would be able to do the job? All imput will be greatly appreciated. My friend just got this Vette. I have a C5 and not to knowledgeable with C4's. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Just start calling around to salvage yards in the area go take it off and reinstall. What was he doing that it blew out I have never heard of that happening. I would remove the trim piece from the hallo inside the car and take the hinge and every thing just unbolt it.

If you can find the glass locally, I think they are around $200. Shipping from out of town would be $$. It will come with the hinge that may need to be painted to match the car. Wilcox is a supporting vendor and they sell the gaskets for a reasonable price.
