Yeah, that's what I get for not taking care of it when I first noticed it was comming apart
 . Oh well, know better for next time (hopefully won't happen anytime soon, since it's brand new)

You got your fixed at a shop right? how much was the labour (cost and time). I was estimated 11 hours. and did you replace your back glass with one of those back glass from ebay? --------------------  |

I was estimated 11 hours. and did you replace your back glass with one of those back glass from ebay? ouch. yeah I had a shop install it. I just had them get a rear window (for time purposes, b/c this is my DD and I was a little iffy about the ebay ONE that's for our cars). That's also why it cost soo much...$480 for window/insert, and about $350 for install ( i know not precisly $800 in all)..So total was $830. As far as time, it only took them aobout 5hrs, but they didn't seem to have a lot else going on that day, so probably more time to work on mine  -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

Not sure if this is possible but it would certainty be cheaper. Y not go to Menards, buy a piece of high-grade plexy glass, and cut a custom piece and put it in urself?
Edit: I know ur past the window part but maybe just an idea for someone else, opinions? This post has been edited by I3arruka: Mar 17, 2008 - 1:23 PM --------------------  "Pain is weakness leaving the body of the strong" |
