~black eye clubman -glass repair

a rock from my neighbors lawnmower the size of a pea shattered my drivers side barn door on my clubbie yesterday.

now comes the pain, closest dealer is 2hrs away. local any-name mobile window repair can fix it but i don't think i should let them bang up my car to get the window in because they never did it before.

looking like i will be going to chicago for the day to get this fixed.

Yeah...that can't be cheap to replace..insurance and the neighbor will cover the deduct? Rear glass for one of my cars was $390 and my front glass is retail at $400...what....ever.

Well I had a rock thrown into my windshield on Day 7...slight chip right in the middle...

I will call State Farm and just have them replace it - in FL it's no fault, so it's free at least the first time...maybe once a year I can't remember...happened to my Acura TL late 2006...

what sucks is that when replacing any mini glass the window trims need to be replaced also- and the installers are usually clueless about how they fit.
