My G35x broken into

Post by **MS6_to_G35x** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 4:12 am

Someone broke my Driver side window and took my Passport Radar detector. I had my GPS in the glovebox and they didn't that.

Unfcuking necessarily.. I got this car only 3 weeks back.

Any idea how much it costs.. Guess will have to go through insurance..What a way to start the week !!!!

Sorry to hear. People suck!!

Someone had this happen here about 2 weeks ago.

Are you not going through insurance?

I think the window is less money than you think!

Get a quote before you call the insurance!

A Drivers window is $690 +Labor (~1.5HRS)out the door.

Definitly call the insurance, especially if there is frame damage, it gets expensive real fast.

I had my coupe broken into about a month ago on the driver's side. The window is not that much. Installed it was only $250 plus another $40 to retint. I used Safelite, which is a national company. They came to my home and fixed it in my garage, great job and very professional. I would highly recommend them.

My deductible was $500 (I have since lowered it to $250) so it did me no good to try and file a claim with my insurance company.

They did damage the door panel a bit where the window fell inside and gouged the panel in some places, but then when the tint guy was retinting he got the heat gun to close and melted part of the door panel down to the white foam layer so the tint place wound up buying me a whole new door panel ($499).

If they messed up your door panel that that may be enough to get you over the $500 mark if your deductible is $500, which would save you some money but not much. If it is just the window itself that was damaged and nothing else then I would say just pay it and move on.

BUT......$650 for a new window anywhere is highway robbery. I would tell whoever is charging that price to go F themselves.

I cannot stress enough (as I have recently learned from experience) do not fall into the comfort zone of leaving valuables in view in your car. With the economy the way it is, people i.e. criminals, losers, scum, rejects of society, etc. who are too lazy to work for an honest days pay will be looking for more and more stuff to steal that they can pawn for a fraction of its value. LOCK THINGS UP!!

Just my $0.02

OK Let me apologize before I get totally burned here. The parts guy looked one up for an M. Sorry should have double checked before posting.

Post by **gwoods** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:14 pm

THAT SUCKS!

I had a little sticker on the window of my ram that said

"Warning, nothing in here is worth dying for"

I got it from http://www.helmet-stickers.com

In AZ castle law extends to your vehicle?

No problem. Oh and Steve I wasn't telling you to go F yourself I was telling the parts guy to do that.

Actually that was probably a rather strong remark but when I read that price I about spit up my coffee. Way to much.

How do you think they pay steve

Post by **SteveTheTech** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 6:29 am

Yeah so for future knowledge M windows are much more expensive.

Yeah I get a cut of nothing from parts.

Post by **MS6_to_G35x** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 8:08 am

Finally got my car back. Had to go with insurance and learned an expensive lessonFor a $ 299 radar detector the end repair cost was 1100$.Parts itself cost ~550$.Out of this aftermarket window as 290 after about 30% discount for the window - runners, weather strips etc accounting for the rest.

With little damage to the A and B pillar door frames.. paint and finishing quickly added up the cost.

The body shop did do a very good job though. Since insurance took care of it and it was their recommended shop.. I am not complaining.

let me tell you that insurance companies, will try to give you AFTERMARKET replacement glass from "SAFELITE", THE GLASS IS NOT OEM meaning it is not factory equipment, so when you look out the window you see waves, oem glass is far more strong and quality is better, but hey who cares as long as the rain/water doesn't get in your carpeace

Post by **J-Owner** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 7:10 am

WOW! They did a lot more damage to your car than mine. OUCH!

I feel your pain. It is a lot of money to go through over a radar detector that if they pawn they might get half what it's worth.

Pathetic! At least you are fixed up now and you learned a valuable lesson. I know I did.
