i got uni tomorrow so not gonna be doin nowt to the car ecept ringin up for a new window. Might have a ring around some places for reinforced windows; seen one company that do em at about £300 for a 3dr hatchback. but it like a 500 mile round trip and 6hr waitin time. so tryin to find somewhere near north west wales, north east humber and west midland warwickshire area. so at least i can be somewhere near a place i can stay the night at before the drive home or to let windows cure.

at the end of the day if the window can take four or five solid hits from a sledge hammer before giving in it will be well worth it. The alarm kicks in after the first attempt to smash the window. they cant get in the car without another load of solid hits with say a stone or spark plug and the alarm scremin into the night. I may have to pay for a new window but at least it will stop anything from being stolen in the car. One of the companies state their glass can take upto 180lbs sq. inch. Thats the equivilant of a nail gun. Theres a demo of a hench guy slammin the window with a stone and it just scratchin and cracking the slightest bit. It takes like 15 solid hits to get the window to a state where he could use his hands to try peeling back the glass. At the end of the day it will cost like £80 for standar window replacement and £150 for front or rear. and given the standard ones are pretty solid i could just replace with standard ones need be if sum1 tries it again. At least then i wont feel so para about havin wedge load of money sat in audio etc in the car.
