Busted Rear Window

[Debross]

I's been a month since my rear window was smashed on my 2021 F150 and I'm still waiting on a replacement. Winter is coming up so I'm thinking about going to a solid window. Does anyone know why it is so hard to find a new window for this truck?

Man, that really sucks. The reason would be the same reason as everything else. Shortages and manufactures having a hard time getting supplies...

Very sorry to hear. We've had supply issues for months now at work and things are not getting better. You might try contacting different dealers/glass suppliers, including some a distance away from you. Maybe try to get a parts manager to escalate the part?

How did it break? Rock thrown by another vehicle?

A lot of smash and grab going on in the country right now. I heard California has a glass shortage because of this. Just my guess.

It happened at work. Grounds keeper ran over a rock with a mower. I figured it was a supply issue because I have been searching and working with the Ford dealer. I'm reaching out in the hopes to find one, If I have to go with a solid window, I'm fine with that. That's better than the weather getting in. Thank you for the info.

That's crazy. Mine got into it with a groundskeeper and a lawn mower. The mower won. lol

That wouldn't have been on my broken glass bingo card. That's some big rocks!!!

I'd gladly have a solid rear window. I never open the back slider.

I had a power window seal leaking and it took well over a month to get the first replacement that arrived the dealership broken in the box. It sucks we have to wait so long for replacement parts.?

Somewhat related, but I've got a fleet Ford van in the shop with them @ 36K miles that needs a new transmission. They've had it for almost 6 weeks waiting for parts.

To make it even worse, this is the 2nd transmission on that van after the first overhaul didn't work. So yeah, supply issues for sure.

I would check junkyards. Most vehicles are smashed in the front.

I found an 2021 F250 slider and Carparts claims that it interchanges. The shape and size sure looks close. https://www.samsriverside.com/all-inventory.php

I've never used mine either, even on my other trucks.

Wow, I'm glad he left a note. The guy that smashed my window just left. But, since I work on a military base they were able to track the company down.
