I just sent this to a fellow dubber from my vw messageboard. He lives in El Paso.

Hey there, this is a totally odd request but I am looking for rear hatch glass for a MK3 golf that doesn't have holes or defrost lines.

Here are some pics:

Anyhoo, I've been calling around all morning trying to find a VW dealer in juarez or at least a parts place that can get the glass for me as it isn't sold in the states.

The part number is: XXX XX XXXX XX (hell no I'm not telling that ish on my blog haha)

I was wondering if it would be cheaper to get at a junkyard or maybe just a generic glass store? I'm open to any suggestions you have as well.

Anyways, that's my story. Thanks for taking the case!

Please lemme know how much I owe ya for the glass as well as your troubles =)

Thanks for helping out a crazy dubber!

P.s. I found a junker off of google and spoke with the owner for close to 20 minutes. He said the cost would be near 180 for the glass but I'm wondering if I can find it cheaper through whomever.

Here is the link to his junkyard in juarez:
