Hello 120 series D4D owners.
Did you know that your D4D Prado has a special noise-reducing windscreen? Most auto glass replacement people don't.
The genuineToyota part number for a standard windscreen for a petrol 120 series built around June 2007 is 5611160471, priced at $860.00
The noise cancelling one for the D4D is 5611160650, priced at $950.00.
I just had my windscreen replaced a few days ago. One of my mates, a D4D owner, contacted me. He was getting quotes for a replacement windscreen from the same people I used. They didn't know about the two screens and refused to believe him when he told them. He obtained the part numbers from Toyota and told the glass people. After a long period of silence they called him back and said he was right.
So now you know.
How many D4D Prados have had the wrong replacement windscreens fitted?
I've just had mine replaced. I asked for a genuine Toyota part but was never asked whether it was for a diesel or petrol Prado, or for a VIN which determines the requirement. My insurance company paid $860.00 - the wrong price for the windscreen appropriate for my D4D Prado.
I can feel a fight coming on ...
