    Google search "car parts wrecking yards" you will get a list of individual wrecking yards. Some of the sites allow you to enter in the details of the type model and year of car you are looking for and then distributes your parts request to thousands of wrecking yards around the US so you don't have to make loads of calls to individual wrecking yards.

    If your windows are the extra thick windows, they are de-laminating. There is not a good solution. I have the same problem. BMW said they would make me a deal, they wanted $6,000 to replace the four windows. Better solution, is replace the entire door. I have replaced two doors with the thinner, standard window which will not de-laminate. A new thicker window will just de-laminate again. The doors with the thinner windows are the same size and will fit just fine. Just a little tough to find a door in the same color. I used the interior panels from my doors and put them on the replacement doors. I have replaced 2 so far.
