Where can i buy a new drivers side window?

I always wanted to tint up my X and I never got around to it because the drivers side window, besides the issues I have with it (When rolled all the way down, it wont come back up) I have scratches all over it, one day i came to the X and saw somebody some how scrapped my drivers side window with like a pen :/

Anyways I know how to install the window myself i'm just looking for a source to purchase the glass, anybody?

Local junkyard or www.car-part.com will definately have them. Replacing the windows is kind of a bitch, just be warned. Removing the window regulator, then you've gotta hold the window down at the bottom of the door, remove the rubber seal from the track it slides inside of, then slide it up and out of the door.

Before you replace it, you should leave it in there and find out what's it's scratching against. I've used grease in the past to try and find where the window was hitting when I closed the door to see where the grease transferred. It helped a little, but I still have the damn window rattle when it's down and the doors are closed.

Yeah I figured out where the rattle is coming from, I basically had something missing between the window and this metal frame that goes up and down, that's whats causing the rattles but i ended up fixing up the window issue by adding a tight tying wires to it and the window, i still here rattles but at least the window doesn't get stuck.
