North of you and a few hours out of route there is a Land Rover dealer in glenwood springs near aspen. I'm not sure if there is one south of you or not.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm gonna try a few glass shops too... Just want to get back on the road and onto vacation ASAP.
I'll have to say my tape job looks pretty good now that I trimmed it up.... Can barely tell
Lesson learned regarding the bike and gravel roads... Gonna move my treds to the spare and put the bike on the roof going forward.
I'm guessing this will be at least a $600 learning experience.
At least I got to see something cool after the glass break!

Dealer in glenwood springs is roaring fork. Dealer I work at in superior CO (northwest of Denver) is Flatirons. Problem is no one may have the glass in stock and you would need a glass company to install it. Best option is to find one a few days out on your journey and call ahead and order the glass. Same goes if you buy direct from a glass company.
The gorilla tape is pretty stout, I washed the truck last night after I rinsed my bike off and there was no water intrusion. My concern is the now complete lack of security, our camera gear, fridge, well, basically a huge % of the expensive stuff I own is living back there for the time being...
The first thought I had was "is there a way to not have glass at all?"
I wish I kept the rock that was inside the cargo area, I regret just dropping it back onto the road...
cmb6s, thanks for the heads up on the Pilkington glass. We had our pano roof replaced with it, didn't know the optics were a potential issue for other brands...
ColoDisco, I'm gonna call around to glass houses in Grand Junction and Salt Lake, maybe go as far as Bozeman...
Thanks for the input everybody!

Make sure you try your best to keep all that Gorilla tape in the shade as much as possible so it doesn't bake on there. Once baked on, not only will it be a ***** to take off (the adhesive glue), but I've seen one instance where the paint was pulled off when attempting to remove gorilla tape from a body panel.
Good tip, I trimmed it up so its not touching the paint last night, but that was in the dark so I'll check again...
Other news, getting glass replaced in SLC tomorrow for $443, better than I thought it was going to be...
They could not tell me the brand of glass I was getting, but right now, and for how little I can see out the back window due to the fridge and gear, I don't really care...

Glass is easier to break than gorrilla tape, around here glass is a zero security factor unless it has the 3m security coating. So if the lack of a rear view doesnt bother you, I wouldnt let the Security fear impact your trip.
