    VX Broken Into!

    This past Tuesday my VX was broken into. My passenger window was smashed and many items including my laptop and wallet were stolen.

    I'm looking for a window to replace my passenger side door window given that isuzu makes the only replacement and it is on month or more back order and very expensive.

    Also my driver side cv axle decided to fail the night before and is making all types of noise and will need replaced ASAP.

    All of these issues when I try to sell it, go figure.

    If anyone can be of any help I'd love it. I need a window ASAP and the axle would be great as well.

    Other items I would be willing to purchase:
    -Red and black steering wheel in great shape since mine is worn.
    -Black center console piece, also worn.
    -Plastic engine cover, always wanted one and my VX has never had one since I have owned it.

    Check with Buffy. He might still have the passenger window.

    Not sure the VX he is parting out has the axle shafts though. There are plenty of posts where people replaced their axles with those from Empi. Not an exact fit but works. Use the search function on the home page to find hours of reading pleasure on the topic of CVs.

    Check with etlsport on the center console. He found somewhere to get them re-covered.

    For the glass have you checked with Merlin at St Charles Isuzu? JoFoto got a drivers side shipped out to him in Moab last year and the price was pretty reasonable.

    yeah it was overnight I think, and something under $200.

    Using mypartshop.com, looks like there's 2 used in the Youngstown area:
    Hover over salvage yard name in right column and it gives full addy and phone.

    Good luck.
