Okay, so I woke up at 5 am to help my friend move down around the DC area. When we got to the U-Haul place, I backed up a little to give my friend some room. I saw a U-Haul truck behind me, but I thought I had at least a foot of room between my bumper and the side of the truck. Unfortunately I was wrong. The rear-view mirror stuck out about a foot from the rest of the truck, which is exactly the amount of space I estimated remained between our two vehicles. To make a a short story even shorter, in no time was I picking up the many parts of my shattered rear window from the back seat of my car.

My question is...Has anyone replaced their rear window? How much did it cost? And were they able to effectively reattach the defrosters?

Many thanks in advance!

 

Ran a quote at www.safelite.com as that is who did my windshield. Got a quote of $342--way more than the front!! good luck............

 

$350? Yikes! I think you're going to be going through the insurance on this one...unless your deductible is something insane (mine's $500).

Call your insurance.

Good luck. =/

 

I do NOT recommend even telling your insurance company. Your deductible is probably more than the damage. And you DEFINITELY DONT want an accident on your record.

Get it fixed fast and move on. They can easily attach the rear defroster.

 

call insurance my insurance replases windows for free no deduck call them and just ask them like hey how much is it if i ever needed a window replaced
it could save you 350 bucks
you dont have to tell them you hit something just say it was a break in thats my alabye

 

Yeah, the deductible is 500, so of course I'm not gonna report it. As for a new window, I guess I can thank Uncle Sam...Part of my income tax check will go towards replacing it. Thanks again guys for the replies!

 

I just got a quote for 275 plus tax, so I guess that's where I'll end up going. Thanks again guys!

 

just watch it, a few people down here who have had their cars broken into have had em replaced.... and for some defect in the cutting the bottom egde is very wavy...
