shattered

[SaxoJamie]

.. my rear window today Thought I would dewiper the sax but had real trouble taking the wiper arm off as it had rusted on. Pulled it just a little too hard and it shattered everywhere Not sure what to do, do I just get it repaired at a garage and pay full price or should I go through insurance as they would help pay for it. Would I lose NCB if I was to get it repaired through my insurance company?

getting a whole boot lid off ebay may a cheaper option

Just got to a scrappy, get any old sax tailgate...take it to a local glass place (or RAC windows if you have one) and they will put the window from the scrao tail gate into yours...ive smashed both my saxos windows...thats what i did, cos me 30quid first time then a year later 40 quid (he said the glue got more expensive lol)

If you are fully comp go that way as it dont effect your NCD
And it will be cheaper and they will do all the work for you.

[AMO247]

Good prices them.

[Goldsax]

lol yeh done it twice haha...crappy windows....

[nazz1]

It took absolutely ages for Alix and I to get the rear wiper bits off my car. In the end we got most of it off and took it to a friend of my brothers and he pulled it off with some mulgrips!! I was sure my rear window was going to come out though!!

Bad luck though, hope you get it all sorted

omg y would you want to pay to remove and refit a tailgate its like 6 bolts or something.

if ur insured and have glass cover the excess will be 50 - 60 quid
deosnt effect you NCB

[gonnacatchalunker]

No need to get a brand new window, they're well expensive and second hand one's are just as good!! i need one lol as i've got a spare flushed boot an tried the old bit of broken spark plug enamel trick on it! (anyone not familiar, if you hit the top of an old sparkplug with a hammer and then pick up a piece of the broken enamel, even though they are small pieces, if you chuck it at a window the window instantly shatters into millions of pieces) wot a fukin mess that made. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME lol!
