Broken Window! $#%@

[pimpmyride808]

anybody know how much a front passenger window might cost? i have a double cab long bed '05. car got broken into at a concert, and they busted the window........ my deductible is $500, so wondering if i should claim or not..... and how hard it might be to fix myself....

[TucsonTRD]

it will be a pain in the ass to fix yourself and the window is going to be quite espensive. i wouldn't be surprised if it is close to your deductable

got my car broke into, front passenger window got broken. wondering how much a replacement window might cost, and how hard it is to replace myself. i have a double cab '05. my deductible is $500, should i claim?

[docindahouze]

why did you make another thread?

[pimpmyride808]

yeah i kinda figured that it'd be close, i gotta check and see if my insurance covers everythng stolen, then it'd be worth it to claim probably.

[pimpmyride808]

you must first paypal me $2 then you can delete it

trdparts4u msrps it at $155, selling at $107. You might search around for some of the threads on taking apart the doors to get a look at how the window mounts in. I don't think it's really complicated, but getting it aligned just right might be.

As mentioned above, it'll be a pain getting it aligned, but if you are a do-it-yourself-er, then you'll have no problems. I've b een fortanute and haven't had any of my vehicles broken into, but when it happens I'll be super d duper pissed. Are you sure your insurance doesn't have free glass coverage? Some insurances do.

On my old car my window was broken several times by vandals. It was covered under the comprehensive part of my insurance policy so no deductible applied. State Farm paid for it in full each time. Check with your agent before you do anything.

It's not that hard to swap the window glass.

If you know anyone in the tinting business, they can do it for you at a lower rate than a dealer would charge.

I own a glass co ... Do not pay more than $205.00 installed.

[pimpmyride808]

thanks for the input everybody, called the dealership, and they said the glass would be around 180, but they sub out the install, then called the place they sub out to, and they said around 410 for glass and install..... sounds damn expensive for install, i ain't a complete do it yourselfer, but i have done windows before, just not a power window.

i wouldn't mind doing it myself if it's going to save me $200, just don't want to fuck it up too much.... i'll look fo rthe threads with the door panel disassembly. anybody else have any advice about changing the windo?

thanks everybody!

[docindahouze]

taking off the door panel will be simple but i dont think anyone has too much further that that.
