I broke my rear window. Where can I buy a new one? In DR or online (Suggestion for a parts dealer)?
Thanks!
Would they pay if it was my fault?
I was told Viamar in Higuey might have them. Any online source to check how much it will set me back if insurance does not cover?
You right. I have the 2014 "full" model.
Yep, I am calculating with 1000 US. Hopefully it won't be that much. Maybe there is a cheaper one not heated version? Don't really need a heated rear window here in DR...
Again, your insurance will likely cover it...if you have glass coverage. Accidents happen..that's why you buy insurance.
Heated glass is also good for humid climates...helps eliminate the interior "fog" on those humid days/nights.
Even if you don't have insurance coverage, I would expect the cost to be no greater than $750.00.
One last point, if you don't have glass coverage..get it. Way to many full uncovered 10 wheel dump trucks plying the roads from Bavaro to Higuey and beyond.
Notice the number of cracked windshields in the DR...there are lots and lots of them.

just to let you know, mike. miesposo changed the front window of his santa fe just last week. he had to take it to santiago (but we are on the NC). the cost was around 27k pesos, the window is brand new.
hyundai list DR dealer on their websites and they have one in bavaro. maybe you can give them a call to see who is authorized to do the job on hyundai in your area:
El Tanque Motors
Carretera Ber?n-Barcel? Km. 9 1/2, pr?ximo al Cruce Coco Loco. B?varo, Rep. Dom.

Yep, bought my car there but they are of little help with that. They told me to try with Viamar or Magna Motors. (Higuey, La Romana or even SDQ). I will just ask my insurance at BR tomorrow. Coverage or not they should be able to tell me at least who can do it here.
Do you think your taller in Santiago would have a (heated) rear window for my Tucson and be able to ship it to me? In case everything else fails or takes up too much time?
Glass is a specialty item and is usually not installed by the dealer where you bought the car. However, your experience of them telling you where to try, as opposed to who to see for sure, speaks volumes about their lack of knowledge and the all important customer service.....after the sale.
You spent a great deal of money there and you would expect them to want to try and keep you as a happy customer...even if they cannot do the job.
Forget shipping the glass...unless you want to own it if it ends up cracked/broken in the process. Today's glass is pretty durable in the frame/affixed to the vehicle. Outside of that it is very fragile. I have even seen installers crack it by putting a little too much presssure on it during installation.
Find a reputable glass house and get it installed there.....even if not covered by your insurance. It is to new of a vehicle to be doing the Dominican street corner installation thing.

"Been There, Done THAT!
I broke the rear window in my "Ford Aerostar van.
