Cool Replacing tinted side glass

I have a 1996 Express van, Gladiator conversion. Windows are tinted dark. I left a window propped open during a windy day and apparently the vibrating was enough to shatter it. The window is located on the side door and has one of those clips you flip to open and close it.

So I need to fix this window. Anyone know where I might purchase this glass, or do I just call the local glass guys that do windshields and leave it up to them?

Thanks.

Most of these shops will sell you the glass if you want to do it yourself.

You are not the first person to have that glass break. If the tint is dark you may need to have the tint done afterwards at a window tint shop.

You might be right Greenfire. I still haven't had time to finish this up, I'll see about getting to it this week. I'm also busy getting a Mazda Miata going after it sitting for four years....

I'll let you know what I find out.
