    Anyone have a 4th gen rear hatch for sale or trade?

    We’ve gotten 8ft of snow here at my SoCal mountain home, which caused an outbuilding roof collapse. Sadly, the roof shattered the smaller rear window on my hatch. It’s the vertical window, ie the smaller one, not the main hatch window. Anyone know if that’s replaceable? Or do I have to do the whole hatch?

    It’s a black 2020 Prius Prime, not a standard Prius. There’s not nearly as much traffic on the Prime sub forums. But, I also posted here bc I would much rather have a regular Prius hatch bc it has a rear wiper. I am willing to bet that a regular 4th gen Prius hatch will fit a prime, and then I will custom wire the wiper power.

    I have an ugly but running 2000 Honda Insight I would trade for an intact, black 4th gen Prius hatch.
    The Insight has 299k miles, a Tennessee title and registration, so no fees. It beat my Prius Prime in mpg on the trip from DTLA to home by 30%, and that’s with the insight battery bypassed. Sadly the insight won’t pass smog here in Cali due to battery bypass causing a constant check engine light.
    I also have cash.
    Please let me know. Thanks

    Does your hatch still open and close easily? The Prime has a carbon fiber hatch and is quite expensive to replace.

    Do you have no deductible glass replacement with your auto insurance?

    If they start talking about replacing the hatch you'll want to consider an insurance claim. Might need to go through homeowner but check with the auto first because sometimes merely calling to ask about coverage the homeowners will begin a claim and jack up your rates next year

    I wouldn’t trust they’re the same unless they have the same part number

    The bottom glass on my old 2016 Prius was mostly a flat rectangle. On the prime it's got cut outs for the spoiler dip and Toyota emblem.

    Yeah I am contemplating doing the entire hatch, not just the bottom glass.

    btw safelite has the glass only for $865! Ouch I figure I can get a whole hatch from a wrecked car for less than that.

    the red plastic right above the arrow in your photo is broken as well. Anyone know what that’s called?

    You could talk to a glass shop about using laminated glass instead of factory tempered.
