How much for rear window (boot)

**beethamwest** · 29th April 2010, 13:07

So yeh driving to uni this morning, something hit the rear of my car. Entire rear view window shattered and theres a clear impact mark on the very edge of the window and on the paint of the metal.

Whats the law regarding driving with the opening duck taped up whilst i get money together to sort it out. And what prices am i looking at for just the window as i can get it fitted for free.

Bad bad day.

If you are fully comp insured it will only cost you your XS....they are also bonded in to the car........

Well 2 things you can do...1. Source the window yourself and see 1 of the lads at a windscreen place to fit it buckshee/ see 1 of the lads at a windscreen place to see how much he can do it on the fiddle..(they can get the glass cheaper)..2. Go to windscreen company and ask how much they would charge through the books....(Big companys will only fit new glass.......Small one man band companys also fit secondhand glass)....hope you get it sorted m8........P.S. check the paint work incase of any scratches from the broken glass......

Mate my side rear wing, the rear part that covers the back and then goes right over the doors, Theres a 1 inch x 1 inch part that is all ****ed up, I'd get pictures but ive had to throw a cover oer the rear end whilst it is raining. With MOT due end of May and a service this is not good

If you lived closer i would have fitted the window for you.....was a manager at a windscreen comp......Becarefull with the little fragments of glass with your cover for scratching....

Getting hold of a window is my main priority, Cheers anyway fella

Im good with plastic fabrication i was thinking of cutting an A0 size clear plastic perspex and just using a silicone to bond it on as a tempfix but at the minute im too down hearted to move.

Well remember if you do that and the silicon hasnt got a good hold, when you drivin along DO NOT open any of the cars windows.......as it might blow out......
