a small nut fell on my rear windshield today and compeltely shattered the rear window.

anyone know how much i'm looking at to repair this? i dont know if i want to deal with insurance a week after i got this car. should this have even shattered from a small nut 15 feet up?

.....this happened 5 minutes after i washed my car and one day before the branches with the nuts are being torn down. what kind of luck is that?

thanks for any help,

cory

 

that is some crazy ****. I guess the glass was hot then you cooled it off which made it weak>? wow..

 

its about 200 dollars

 

dang that sucks man a nut? i didnt know they was that powerfull and ^^^$200 sounds about right but then again are back windows more cus of the defrost system?

 

rear glass is more than $200, my mustang rear glass was $500 to replace. i would guess it will run around $600 to $850.

 

That's just one more reason not to park under trees.

 

Check the autoglass shops. You can get multiple quotes on-line in a matter of minutes, and they'll bring the glass to you and replace it in your driveway. Much cheaper (and faster) than going to a dealer.

 

i hope you mean a bolts nut and not a fuken nut from a tree...wtf man!

 

hahahahahhah

 

Dude? a nut? like an acorn or pecan or what. WTF?!

 

I remember seeing a mythbusters about it, the back windsheild is weaker and they broke it with a BB gun, but they did it with an 86 corolla or something.

I thought it would be stronger nowadays

 

EPIC fail.

 

if its a bolt's nut its believable since i know a few people that had similar incidents. If its a ****en nut off a tree that a squirrel attacks then...wtf

 

no he means a nut like a squirrel might have thrown or something...

i don't believe him

 

it probably was a large branch or soemthing that broke off.. do you not see any signs of something on the ground that could have hit besides a nut??
