Default Shattered 1/4 window

Despite repetatively warning my 11 y.o. son not to throw rocks near the house and cars...one ricocheted off a wall and found the passenger rear 1/4 glass. The wife put him on the phone while working with patients. Due to immense fear, he couldn't put the words together to describe what had happened, so I asked him to put the wife back on. This is when I was given the grizzly details. Man I got mad! Patients actually gave me free psychotherapy as a means for me not to bolt out the door to see what else happened to my baby. Safelight Glass had to order the glass from Jaguar. Good thing she got glass coverage. If not, I would have looked for a salvaged glass. I'm ok now.

I think he meant if you needed to salvage a window from one Seth. LOL. But I wish I had the room for a parts car I would love another broken R to experiment with.

Correct, I meant a window from Georges salvaged STR. I haven't read that anyone laid claim to 1 yet, (suprisingly).

"Military Academy"? LOL! Mike get's the cigar. jagv8, I thought exactly the same. How did that rock hit such a small window and not have the opportunity to strike the body. I was actually thankful it was the window due to glass coverage. Body work would have me dealing with a $1500 deductible, so basically I would have had to pay out of pocket for the repair...good observation jagv8.

Yikes. I will get to the event extra early to make sure there are no rocks within a 5 mile radius of all of our cars!

LOL! We'll have to form a line and walk the lot looking for debris; like they do on aircraft carriers.
