Holy Crap!

Post by JustPassedU »

I just discovered that to replace one of the windows in the very back, (Hatch area) costs 350 to replace. I'm sooo mad. This is my mom's car too. I'm not gonna go into the story because, A. Most of you wouldn't care, and B. The story is pretty juvenile and I couldn't help but be racist if I posted the story and I myself don't agree with racism.

Saw that rear hatch window sell on eBay for just $1. Would have bought it if the shipping wasn't so high!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW

When you say "one of the windows" in the very back, (Hatch area), are you refering to the rear window (where the third wiper is located) or one of the rear windows (the reason for the window in plurial form) ?

Yeah, which window?Also, racism depends on what you're talking about. If it was a result of an a$$hole, then we can be rascist against a$$holes! Heh.

Thats outrageous. Did you get that estimate from the dealership or an outside company. There is no glass there hardley so it must be all for labor.

Lots of time the small windows are the more expensive ones. Sounds like some expensive friends you have, need a new circle of them too.

the only thing I find puzzling is the fat that you only pointed out only one persons ethnicity. vandalism is a horrible thing. STUPID and we all eventually have to pay for it one way or the other.

Could not have said it better Kostby, people like that should be beat with rubber hoses. Personally, I would of had to kick some a** if someone did that to my Vibe .
