a wise choice my friend. and good luck with fixing your window!

 

When i lock my keys in my truck, I call up my buddy with an old toyota and use his key to unlock it

 

Yo, i talked to my friend that works at that glass shop last night about your situation, he said you would need to cut the old window frame but swapping in a new unit (window/frame) would be an easy job, and then he went on to say, "if its one of the sliders (sliding windows), i could fix it with a piece of plexi-glass for free"

me personally would go for the plexi and forget about it

 

Thanks peapicker, i was begining to forget what his Q was. Glad someome answered it though.

 

My favorite "F" word: FREE.

Too bad you're in the states.

I called around to a couple places including the dealership.
- Dealership wants $88 for the single pane or $550 for the whole deal (not installed).

- A couple places around town said they would charge me $290 (installed).

I think I'll search PnP and the web a little longer, it's not cold out (yet).

I was told I needed "DOT automotive glass" which I thought was stupid. Plexiglass would be sweet then I could bend the window in and pop the latch.

 

You were quoted $550 for the whole slider ?

the stealership here told me 1) they couldnt get the latch

and 2) the whole setup was $700.00


ooo that pisses me off!

 

i zip tied a spare key into a recess in the frame, felt more comfortable than the magnet..

 

good to know...

 

you already knew will

 

We got tonnes of one piece glass' over here the only sliders are on imports happy to trade currently got 4 or 5 in my lock up
