Default Where to find new hatch

Over the winter I opened my hatch after an ice storm and the glass popped out of the gasket and the hinges may be bent. I took it to a glass shop to be repaired and the guy told me it looks like I may be better off finding another hatch. I have tried glass cement and it didn't hold. Where can I find a replacement hatch or is there anything else i can try to fix it? I'll post pics in the morning.

It's a shame you are so far away. I have a good hatch and frame(no spoiler) you can have for free. Same goes for anyone else willing to pick it up in Sacramento.

I just tossed a glass and frame two weeks ago and I am close OOhps.. Bad timing.. There are others around, keep your eye out. I also have all of the materials to try a reseal if you wanna try to do it yourself. Bring it on over and we can give it a shot. PM me or IM me for contact info.

My neighbor has 2 good ones in his basement that he's been looking to sell. This is in Alexandria too so not all that far away from you. Let me know if you are interested and I'll either get in touch with him or put you in touch with him.

IIRC, Mike asked here a bunch of times if anyone wanted it. Free to boot.

Yup, frame was bent glass was OK and I already had a new one. Offered to take it to Hershey but no takers.

That would suggest to me that there was no one within 500 miles that could have met me to pick it up. Needed to go. I had it for more than 2 months with no takers, FREE I might add.

Still have the wing and all of the hardware though.
