Helppppp! What can I do? I passed my test last week and some d***head kicked it in!


I called autoglass but theyre askin for 210! thats like 1/3 of the price of my car.

Its a Corsa B 12V Envoy


they smashed the drivers side side window.

im thinkin of goin to a scrap yard to get one or something..

anyone know how much it'd be roughly to get it fixed?

cheers

do it yourself mate, the glass should only be a tenner ish from a scrappy, and use your haynes manual and swap it over its piece of piss.

piece of piss to do mate, just take your time. if your feeling clever you could always fit electric windows while your on.

i got a repalce ment wind screen 4 £85 quid including fitting they even come to u

just enquire to see if they fix ya window

Do it yourself mate like others have said....we recently changed ours because some dick broke in but managed to get one from the scrappy for a tenner....bloke at scrapyard told me to drill the rivets out that holds the glass clamp in place but i didn't do it that way....just took the clamp thing of the bottom of whats left of the old one and put it on the new one and managed to get it in perfect.
Make sure you hoover all the glass out though because any glass remaining in the rubber seals at the sides or wherever could crack the new glass you put in.

Probably not very helpful,hard to explain...it is a DIY job though.

buy a new door

I did mine a few years ago as the window mech was bust, took less than an hour from start to finish. Easy job mate, its really common sense, take the door card off and the plastic sheet if its still on, then look at whats holdin the mech on, drill the rivets, lower the mech, slide the glass in the guides and mech rubber, lift the mech into position, rivet it in place. job done. atleast thats what I remember lol if have missed something its not much
