my window just shattered - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #35411 14 posts Started by lil_lissa
it was beautiful here today, like +15 degrees, so i met up with my buddy who just got a new bike
i just put my rims on today, and he wanted to see what she looked like with the top down
so i put the top down to go for our cruise.. went to put the backseat windows down... and as i pushed the button.. the entire window on the driver's side just shattered to a million pieces... glass went everywhere

why the **** would it do that?
i'm so angry right now i don't know what to do with myself
i looked at the wreckers here, and they want 150 bucks for that window!

im not sure how i could get it to you, but ill sell you a perfect window for 50 bucks

Give your car a very good vacuum,
cause those little pieces of glass are
deadly. Good luck with fixing it.

i already vaccuumed the **** out of it
theres like half a broken window in the panel though.. like between the outside of the car and the inside speakers and ****

brian, do you have a convertible window or a coupe?

lissa | 1997 Celica Convertible*My other ride is your boyfriend* ;)
oh no, it is a hatchback window, do you know if they are different?
well according to car-parts.com they are the same because when you search it doesnt ask you coupe/hatch/convertible, and when you search the results include hatchbacks convertibles and coupes
no they're different
mine has a seal and everything that has to be on there

i searched on car-part and it asked me for coupe or hatch or vert...

r u sure? i coulda sworn they were all exactly the same...
really, crazy, i just did the same search and they only asked whether it was left or right.. weird.. did you search for "glass, front door"?

well ive tried recreating the search 10 times now and it never asks, it does ask when you do "glass, quarter window" however

oh wait, the backseat window goes down in a convertible? thats the one you broke, doh, thats what we get for not reading the thread properly
its different for convertibles.a

lol its not the front window
the rear quarter ones
search that, and it asks

ooooooo, ok. my bad. i didnt read it properly. my mistake. yea, it's have to be specifically for the vert. lol. good luck, sorry to hear about that. god damn, 150 for that little thing??? thats crazy.
you checked a place like speedy autoglass yet lissa?? they usually do a good job. my sis's bf's civic got broken into and they smashed the back window and he had it repaired for less than $100 and it took em a lil over an hour to do.
do they make the window from scratch or do they need me to bring the window in? i've never had to have any window repaired before so i have no idea
