Been over 5 months waiting for a windshield replacement. Very frustrating as I have a huge crack running from driver side to passenger side. Dealer said company wasn’t making replacement shields, only new car shields. Has anyone else heard this??
2025 Land Cruiser windshield
- Thread starter LrkB
- Start date
We are also trying to resolve our replacement front windshield: with both Toyota and the Insurance company
We have two large cracks running from top to bottom on each side: driver and passenger, this happened three weeks ago
The only replacement available is from Toyota - OEM
Reading this forum and taking to Toyota service; the windshield seems to be on backorder - no good answers on a time line
The cost of removal and installation, the new accessories needed, and the recalibration is significant - estimated total ~$3900
hopefully, we will have this resolved in a reasonable amount of time

Safelite has cancelled my appointment twice because they have been unable to get a replacement (OEM) windshield - going on three weeks now…. Seems to be a shortage of replacement glass for LC (2025 model)

Welcome to the Jungle!
Welcome to the asylum LrkB.
Another inmate on this forum recently reported that Toyota USA received ~250 new windshields, stateside. I hope it is true. Have you checked with your dealer?
I cracked my 2024 1958 windshield 6 weeks ago and have been waiting for glass. Glass is finally in. I'm trying to navigate between the dealer who has the glass and Safelite who only orders from another dealer, so I'll work that out. In any event, in chatting with the Safelite folks, they shared that 2025s are on five-month back order. I asked about Broncos and Jeeps and the woman said they are on about a 30-day back order. I wouldn't expect Toyota or dealers to voluntarily disclose this, although seems like a ready-made class action lawsuit.
I have been in contact with Toyota CEO's office for the last two months and now get weekly updates. What was originally a May date for my new windshield then became mid June and then I got this message today: Glass S/A, Windshield L/Moul & Stopper the current ETA is Late June 2025.
Got a crack in my 2024 this week. Only 5500 miles.
I opened up a claim today. I bought the no deductible glass + body damage insurance through the dealer at purchase time, the price was low enough that one use for a windshield would pay for it. We’ll see how long it takes. I looks like they will have me go through safelight.
