    Rear window

    I need some expert opinion here.
    My 8 is going to paint and have to decide whether to do a glass out paint job. I know the benefits of taking glass out before painting but the risk is breakage. There looks to be a bend already on one of the corners of the rear glass and wondering what kind of availability there is for a replacement. My initial search shows NLA from the factory.
    So, is it worth the risk?
    Anyone's know how hard it is to find a replacement?
    Thanks.

    The only way they’d break it is if they were retarded so, I mean depends on where you take it.

    And no the part is not NLA, the number is 51318152799. They’re $740 before tax from the dealer if you order through their online parts catalogues with the 15% off most of them do.

    Thanks. Body shop had a high degree of confidence just don't want to go down that road if the part is a PITA to get. I'll reach out to Gault and see if they can get.

    Front usually breaks. Back should be fine. Mine had to come out twice as the reinstall was off. No issues.
    What "thumbs up" really means
