Is cab glass dealer only

[LD1]

Any aftermarket sources for cab glass?

3550.

I don't think that cab is the same as anything else other than the 3540.

And I don't think Mahindra made this tractor under any other name.

Right door shattered. Not my fault. Was having it tinted. Just wondering if there are any options other than the $1300 one from the dealer. Online searching isn't much help.

Yeiks,… my kioti front windshield was about half that cist. I wouldnt think a door would be that much more.

And i really doubt there are any after market for those.

Is it some weird curved shape a glass shop couldn't cut for you? I'd call around to glass shops in your area and see what they have to say.

Thanks for the warning not to bust my doors.

I wouldn't call it a "weird" curved shape....but yes it's curved

I think all modern tractor cabs are that way. No different than just about any modern car window

Not sure if this will help, but a farmer friend of mine busted the rear window of his Ford backhoe. It had a slight curve to it but we were able to cut a flat piece of plexiglass to fit. We screwed on the hinges & handle, fitted the gasket, and it's been working fine for several years. It does scratch easily though, and he figures to replace it again when it gets too bad. Cost less than a quarter that of a OEM glass replacement.

The same idea could be used on a door if the lack of a curve isn't a problem.

When i broke the front window of my tractor a few years ago, plexiglas would have cost 2x what the new glass cost. I checked several shops. Their reasoning was lack of supply. During covid they used most of the inventory making shields used in stores, etc.

And plexiglas scratches way too easily.
