Default looking for a 968 rear hatch...

Is anyone selling a 968 rear hatch with a good window? With or without the wing but I would like the trim to be intact.

How much and when will you know if you are gonna sell it or not?

My car was vandalized and they had broken my rear window so I am looking to replace the window or entire hatch rather quickly.

Thanks

I should know by the beginning of next week.

If sooner, I'll let you know.

Do you need rear window, too?

I've also removed both of mine.

Yeah what I mainly need is the window. If I could get the entire hatch I thought that might be a bit easier.

I have a rear window out of the frame available. If thats all you need, you might see about getting it put in by a glass company, that way you don't have to worry about it delaminating and leaking for a good while, and it should be substantially less expensive than buying a whole replacement hatch.

I do have the entire rear hatch...

I wasn't sure if you were talking about the side rear window that was vandalized, and needed replacing as well.

I'll let you know about the hatch shortly.

By the way, where are you located...that hatch is pretty heavy.

Where do you go about finding a 968 Hatch besides the list? I've tried contacting German Auto Dismantlers with no luck.

I've seen them on E-bay at various times....of course NEVER when I need one.

I'm located in Grand Rapids, MI. I brought the car to a body shop since a few other things were damaged too. The only thing they could find was a new hatch with window for $2400! They have "someone" searching for used glass. I'm waiting on a call back from my insurance agent to see how much they will give me just to get the hatch on my own then they don't have to pay for installation too.

Just be careful with any complete hatch you purchase. The seal at the top is rather fragile and will leak and drive you crazy with squeaking if it becomes delaminated, which is a very common ailment. If the glass is already removed from your frame, its pretty easy (and cheap, should be less than $100) for any glass shop to reglue a window in its place, and then you'll be in better shape for the long run, in my opinion.
