You may be driving down the road and a rock hits your car window. Or, you wake up to find that vandals played a prank. Even if it's a little crack, the window needs to be replaced because it could easily spread. Follow these steps to buy replacement car windows.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Call a nearby body or auto parts shop and ask if they have a replacement window in stock.

  2. Step 2

    Go to a junkyard and look for a replacement window. Some parts yards have all types of vehicles, so you may luck out and find your exact model.

  3. Step 3

    Search online for replacement parts. Go to an automotive parts store and search under the car make, model and part needed.

  4. Step 4

    Check out auction websites to see if anyone is selling windows. You'll often find parts much cheaper on these websites.

  5. Step 5

    Grab a copy of the local Want Ad Digest or Auto Trader magazine. See if there are any replacement windows for sale.

  6. Step 6

    Ask a local glass shop if they do car windows. Many of them are mom and pop stores with low overhead costs. So, they pass the savings onto you.

  7. Step 7

    Compare costs before buying a replacement car window. Some glass companies advertise that they beat their competitor's price. It doesn't hurt to get a few estimates to ensure you're getting a good deal.
