New sunroof glass

Check the price from your local LR dealer - you may be surprised at how reasonable it is - I was when I looked at a sunroof glass for my brother in laws car
 
Hello. Found my sunroof glass smashed tonight on my 51 plate TD4 Freelander 1. Nothing showing on eBay. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. I'm in Sheffield. Just did a quick search and prices ranging between 4 and 5 hundred pounds !! Cars only worth that !
 
Have a google for land rover breakers. 1 I looked at had them for £275, if you ring around, I'm sure you'll get cheaper.

At £500 you could buy a whole car for parts.

That's what I did. Just means you have to tune out from the moans from the better half about the pile of junk in the garden :D

Sorry to be a pain ( see what I did there?;-) )...but Im doing a bit of lateral thinking here.....Ive never used the sunroof ( as Ive said, I live in Yorkshire) and wont ever need to, soooo is it possible to blank off the roof aperture......i.e. remove the broken glass and frame and just blank the roof off? Is there a "blanking plate" available for this idea?

Thanks.

I think you could get solid panel replacements for the 3 door (for the commercial?), but not seen anything for the 5 door.

Unfortunately the car was built to take the glass sunroof, or it was built with a solid roof, so there's no blank available.
Your options are bodge in something and reduce the value of the vehicle, or find and fit a replacement glass panel.

You could weld 1 of these on top.

Plenty lying around roads and fields in Ukraine.

Ahh right. That makes sense. Going to have to be a bodge job then as not bothered about the value. Had my money's worth out of her. Thanks.

As for GrumpyGel's suggestion, I don't think the roof would support the tank turret. Good idea though ta.
