Default FRC back glass

Go to the thread C5 convertible removeable hardtop build REvised and go to the last page, find roc87 he mentions there is a back glass on Ebay. You might contact him.

I think they the frc and z06 are the same, they (gm) made that body style in '99-'00 frc then just added the z06 motor in car in '01. I think that is correct, if in different please help.

OEM are no longer available, my glass guy said he could order an aftermarket one for around $700. Oddly enough the OEM trim/seal is still available for around $85 through GMPartsDirect. Used glass from what I have found is around $300-$400 not including shipping, and yes, the glass is the same for the FRC as the Z

Call your local glass shops and get a quote. SafeLite has an exact replacement available as well as the gasket kit. $700 is way too high of a price. I would expect $5-600 installed with gasket to be a fair price.

Those are good prices-GM's parts data base lists the window right at $3000-which is insane.
