Rear Window

Postby Gzus » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:02 pm

Hello everyone, so someone smashed my rear window and I tried to look for part out cars that have it, I have a 1997 Pathfinder and found a guy with a 2003 Pathfinder. The back window looks identical, do you guys know if it will fit?

I don't think it will. The listings I see show 1996-2000 Pathfinder and 1997-2000 Infiniti QX4. There were also three different tints: green tint, bronze tint privacy and gray tint privacy.

Let us know if it does! They did make some substantial changes to the body and rear suspension in the middle of the 1999 model year. Vehicles with VINs up to -350000 were '99 models and -350001 and later were 1999.5 models. I'm not sure if they made changes to the rear hatch or not.

Ok so the rear window from a 2003 did fit my 1997, the only difference and I'm sure that's why 1996-2000 and 2000-2004 are categorized different is because the third brake light is a bit longer so you would need to also get the third brake light which is plug and play to the old connector.
