Window to discontent
WE CALLED in the might of Toyota head office, which in turn went to the company's head office in Japan, and even then we couldn't help. It seems the company no longer stocks the window, although it did offer to make one for you. Unfortunately, it couldn't tell us how long it would take or how much it would cost. I'm thinking it's not a solution so I would suggest you keep trying wreckers, particularly ones who specialise in Toyotas, or try an automotive glass specialist like Windscreens O'Brien which might be able to make one for you.
