Hi Guys from what I can see this is equivalent to a 2008 Toyota Yaris 5 Door but I cannot be certain, I am going to order 1 and see if it fits.

I'd be happy to help you bierhanzel. Send me a PM and we'll get it done for you.

Great news mike. Now who can help me get these glasses for me? In Europe, no one knows the scion (it's just a brand for North America) .....in ebay is only one side and shipping only USA..

No problem.
I think I am going to cover the backside of the glass in foil tape and then wax it real good, then fiberglass it and create 1" flanges around the perimeter.  Then I will graft this piece into my quarter panels.  When it is done I will have the correct recess for the glass to sit in. (in theory)

Thanks Mr. Mike! I went ahead and bought them myself, great find indeed!!! Doesn't look like they will require to much work!!!

Thanks Mike!!!

Here are some measurements if you guys wanna get a rough idea for your builds.

I did a little messing around with them this weekend.  I think I have a game plan for fitting these windows. I will update this thread with my progress. When I am done I might just make molds of the window opening for guys to graft into their own cars if they want.

Sure, I understand it is not a drop-in part. I'd like to see the fabrication you will need to do to get these to fit.

[lp670mike]

No problem guys. Just to be clear though this is a very close match but the opening will require some modification to work.  I just don't want someone to buy these thinking they will just drop right in.  I am 100% going to use them on my build. I think the end result will look great and it is real tempered glass. To me that is worth the extra work. I have some ideas for door glass as well but still doing recon missions at the mall with my measuring tape. Haha my wife thinks I am totally out of my mind.  But it paid off for the quarter glass.

Happy building guys

Thanks for sharing! Amazing to me how well these appear to fit. I have added this as a part of interest in my Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Murcielago thread.

Nice find Mike! I'll probably be getting those instead! Thanks for the tip!!!
