Default By By 230gal

Well I was planning on buying a 230gal fish tank here in april but now it looks like thats not going to happen....on the way home from calgary today I was on the highway when all of a sudden my drivers side window blew up......so now I have no drivers side window and I'm gonna have to fork out some $$$$$ to get that fixed now....so I guess I am gonna have to wait longer for a 230Gal tank!!!

Default windows

what vehicle you driving? Those windows are usually really cheap to buy. Go to scrap yard and they usually have one that you can replace. If you have problems getting it in, bring it to a small auto glass place and offer cash. I had a windshield of a Toyota Sienna replaced for 300 bucks. i imagine it would be cheaper if it was just a driver's window
good luck

I just got the drivers side window on my girlfriends Cherokee replaced at Window Surgeons. $154 taxes included. It took them about 1.5 hours.

Wow, that's pricey!

Is this through the dealership?

Wow, thats pretty nuts, I can't imagine driving down the highway without my driver side window

Isn't something like that covered by the manufacturer's warrenty? Something has to be wrong with the window if it just blew out for no reason. My parents had the front windshield on their clk replaced for free after it cracked for no reason for nothing (this was less than a year after they bought the car)... and I had a friend who had her a4's front windshield replaced for free for the same reason.

I agree. Sounds definitely like it should be covered under warranty. Must have been a manufacturing or installation defect, so it was not your fault but VWs. Call them & explain what happened because it shouldn't be coming out of your pocket.

Good luck,

Anthony

Its coming out of our pocket, VW won't replace at no charge, because they probably think it was a rock or something that did the window in.

Honestly though, I don't really think that a little rock could do so much damage!

The only place we can go to get the window replaced without having to wait a couple of weeks is the VW dealership.

This just sucks, its coming on the tail of an $8000.00 damage claim against A&B Sound, we don't need this!

All I want is a new tank, WHY WHY WHY does it have to be so hard?
