Hey people,

 

A very very angry man here. :mad: :mad:

 

Last night while I was away doing a night shift, some mother f***in idiots broke into my 300 and stole my DVD player and screen at home. They smashed all my back windows. What I believe happened is, they smashed the rear quarter windows first thinking they'll put their hands through and unlock the car but as the mechanisms are too far forward on our cars, they couldn't get to it, so they smashed the rear window and got in through there. I say this because as there is a foot print on the car boot area and prints on my rear seats.

 

Now I've got a tailgate lying around from which, I can use the window and the quarter windows I'll get hold of soon somehow. The car has been dead for about a year due to a blown engine and due to financial problems, I never could be able to come around fixing it but was going to very soon. Now because the car was off road, I cancelled the insurance. So can't get it fixed that way. I called Autoglass and they quoted me £1126 (discounted price otherwise £1406) for the job with the windows provided. I told them I've got the windows and they said they don't help if they don't provide the windows. So I need to find a garage that can do the job.

 

I'm near the Heathrow area. Anyone know of any place around here?? And any idea how much it should or is going to cost??

 

I've been making myself hold on to this car only due to the fact that alot of time, money and work has gone into it e.g. intercooler, bodywork, paint job, interior etc. But the way things are going, think I'm going to be either breaking it or getting rid of it the way it is if someone wants to fix her up. Just going to give it a last try to see how much its going to set me back to fix her up as engine work is going to cost £600 and now this has happened. So want to know how much it will cost altogether now to fix her up.

 

Any help appreciated guys..

 

p.s. hope this doesn't happen to anyone as its one of the worst feelings ever. :mad:

you were lucky, they only break the rear glass of a car so they dont have to sit on glass in the front seat when they have stole it, maybe they got spooked, still its not nice having that done to you, they want fookin stringing up by their tiny knackers

Ill have a look at work may find you a number, but im croydon based, so may be to far.

Yeah maybe I was lucky at some point...but then again, whats the point luck kicking in when the damage has been done already. :rolleyes:

Can these get fixed elsewhere by others guys???

Im suprised at the quote, seems excessive , esp since you are providing the glass. however most garages have local fitters they use, may be worth a ring around to see. :)

didnt mean to sound sarky

Thanks KennyZ. Don't think that will quite work out for me but no harm in trying.

I was shocked too when she gave me that quote, gave her a laugh on the phone and ended the conversation saying maybe it was a bad idea calling Autoglass. Will get on to trying the local garages KennyZ on my next day off. :) See what they have on offer. Just wanted to know if this has happened with anyone else and how they fixed it without insurance...

Zee try this number: 07961 341 759, guys name is Ian and he'll be able to help you out...

That is a point. Just double minded at the moment Z32King. Hopefully will come to a decision soon. :)

Shit, ******* :( Sorry to see mate

 

I know SWZ has had window fitters out a couple of times to replace windscreens and have supplied own glass.....pretty sure the costs were £100 to remove from one car and fit to another so I would just ring around and avoid the big known companies, probably against there policy.
