I am currently looking for a front window for my lada niva 2002 1.7 (it has the bigger size window, not the square one). I would prefer to buy second hand, does anyone know where I might find one in the Cape Town area? Thanks

There is a place in Krugersdorp that sells new ones for about R1000 fitted but that doesn't help you.
Try any auto glass fitment centre

It would make a lovely road-trip, but unfortunately not right now. I have only sourced one quote so far at R1800. Neither Glassfit or National Auto Glass has any Lada Niva windows. PG glass will notify me shortly I knew the day would come eventually for someone to smash my window, i just hoped it never happens.

Ahh
Don't know of where to get a new one, but I have a second hand one for sale if you know a secure method to get it from jhb to cpt without breaking.

I just came back from PG Glass Somerset West. They could cut me a new window from safety glass. It is a bit thicker but much safer against future break-ins. for future reference, if you need to replace a door window, do tell them the lada door window is very flat, because at first everyone told me it can't be done, mostly because they think the window is curved. They just cut and fitted it in under a hour for R350 They did require the driver side window for measurement etc which i took out for them.
