Well...tonight after leaving the poker game, my driver's side window was shattered...think it was due to hail. So, how much should I expect to pay for a replacement window? It's the driver's side, power window with stock tint. Damn...sh*t like this pisses me off.

Car is a 97 240sx if it makes any difference.

Expensive. VERY expensive. I don't recall mine right now, but it was over $500 (I think $650 p&l).

EDIT : You can't click on the link for some reason. Just go to www.car-part.com and search.

The average price on there is like 80 bucks. Call them for shipping. As far as tint, just take it into any shop after you have it installed, it should be like 30-60 bucks for one window.

Total payout was about $1850 for a smash and grab on a cheaper than OEM stereo. Yes good ins. Ded wasn't an issue - having a car w/ a hole for a window was!

A guy at a local glass shop is squeezing me in right at 5:00 p.m. Gonna cost me around $250...and I'm not happy about it.

Eh? Why don;t you just order it and put it in yourself?

Save yourself over 100 bucks. :)

Because I don't want to wait a week to get my car back to where I can drive it. It's f*cking cold right now in Texas, and I'm not driving around with a window out. I would rather spend an extra hundred, and not be out the time and effort to put one in. I'm just pissed it happened two days before Christmas, and right when a cold front came in.
