1995? Tahoe lift gate glass

[Phoenixshifter]

Hello all! New potential Tahoe owner, here. Not sure if this the right place to post , but a Tahoe I am looking at to swap for has the rear lift gate glass broken out. Replacing it myself doesn't seem too difficult, but I am having problems finding the right glass that's near me and not high-priced. Any suggestions? Thank you for your future help!

Check your local junkyards. Swapping the entire llftgate, not just the glass, may be an easier option for you.

And welcome from NY.
Let's see some pictures of that Tahoe you're looking at.

^^^ Second that.

A junkyard will be your best bet on saving money, and you may not have to pay the cost to tint it to match the other OEM glass like you would a new window. Hard to find those beautiful beloved liftgates, though.

Such a cleaner look to me. I would trade my barn doors for a liftgate style any day!

Good luck searching!

I'm torn on it. The tail gate on those comes in handy at times to do stuff on and the glass open helps keep rain off when you're standing there but the extra reach to get in there to grab stuff is a pain in the butt... more pain in the legs actually...

I'm partial to barn doors, but I understand.

I don't like having to remember to duck for lift gates; or having to reach an extra couple of feet for loading and unloading. The vertical blind spot, down the center, has never bothered me.

Just went through the exact same issue with my 05 Suburban. It was an insurance claim, and the glass shop could not find an OEM piece of glass anywhere - they said it was out of production. So they used aftermarket windows and everyone of them leaked (3 of them) when washing the vehicle. Replaced the window gasket too. We went around and around for 6 months and I finally just went and found a used window from the same body style Tahoe. Sealed up the first time - no more leaks. The aftermarket replacements for this body style are junk. Good luck to you.
