Hi everybody, I need to replace the rear window of my 348 TB. Since the replacement is not covered by the insurrance I’m looking for a best price value deal. Any good suppliers in Europe? Is a lexan window a good alternative? Can I do the replacement myself or must it be done by a professionel? Thanks, Albert
I think Lexan has issues with legality on the street? There is a thread on this and actually having windows made, someone did it. I read it a few weeks ago, try and run some searches as it has been covered and you'll want to read the whole thread. FYI, they are rare and hard to come by and when they do go for sale they sell for thousands, yes plural and more than 3 in today's market almost certainly. A place everyone knows that has shelves of them just waiting for someone to buy is not reality. Reality is many people looking for long long long periods. Salvage yards rarely have them as they tend to break in accidents. Ferrparts has has 2 in like the last 10 years they told me. Run some searches, its out here, good luck..
I’m in the same boat, I need one for my 348. Every time I see someone dismantling a new 348/355 I message them to see if the rear window is good and available. I recently thought I had one and they broke it taking it out somehow, or so they said, they might have just got a better offer. I might just buy a lexan one from Eurospares. As for legality I’m pretty sure it’s fine for federal DOT and really who would know on a little back window? Heck maybe I’ll get a $30 piece of lexan and try to make my own.

Not sure if they still have it, but Eurospares are showing a used thermic rear window glass for £2100 : https://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/ferrari/348-27-motronic/bodywork-lighting/glasses-and-gaskets-41227 Again, no guarantee that they actually have them in stock, but Maranello Classic Parts are showing the rear windows as being available for £4633.72 : https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/PagesExternal/Search.aspx Search for Part No. 62080000 (rear window glass) on both sites. They're not cheap, but I suspect they're a bit of a bugger to make!
