Vandalized!! Is the '01 Rear Glass a unique part #?

[RC45]

Well - I was alerted to a noise outside last night and wasn't sure if it was a gunshot or a backfire or just my imagination.

In the light of the day I say it was the rear window and drivers window being smashed to bits.

So other than the anger and hatred towards the lowlife mother f*******@@@!@$#@#%$@$#@rs who did this, I need to be sure if I should insist on a 2001 specific rear window.

Paul, sorry to hear this bro.
It's a damn shame that some folks just have no respect for other peoples property.

Probably just some asswipe kids who had nothing better to do than to vandalize a car.

Don't know the answer to your question, but I would think the '01 back windshield would be different than any other FRC.

That really sux...why people feel a need to mess with someone else's stuff is beyond me.

Man...that is plain and simple crap. I'd expect stuff like this here in the NE, but not in Texas. I guess assholes abound everywhere.

The glass is all the same... it's about a $1300 piece of glass because of the curve and the low market demand.

Definately call your insurance and file a comp claim. Vandalism goes under comprehensive and it doesn't affect your rates at all, it's a non-chargable offence. You simply pay your deductible.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Just chatted with the neighbours, seems a block down there is at least one other car also with rear window busted...

And nothing stolen as with mine - just vandals apparently.

How can you be so bored as to just go break peoples stuff?

I only ask about the rear window as I know our front windows were unique.

I guess sooner or later I needed to end the 10 year no claim record with the car insurance.

Man I'm sorry to hear about stuff like this.. I'm with Don, I guess a$$holeitis isn't just limited to regions.

I had thought that both windshields were special to the Z06 but I'm not 100% certain on that. I have a glass shop right around the corner from the office, at lunch I can walk over and check if you like. Maybe just for my own info.......

If people like that disappeared off the face of the earth, the world would be a much better place.

Sorry this happened. I've been there, done that.

Rear glass replacement

Yeah my rear glass was around the $2800 mark a couple years ago. Glad Chevy bought it and not me. I had the rear defrost clip problem where the solder breaks off by itself.

Sorry to hear about this Paul....really sux....

[RC45]

So is this something a mobile glass service could take care of?

Or do I have to make the trip on a lowbed to the dealer?

Mobile should be able to do it as long as they have access to the correct glass.

[RC45]

Thanks Norm.

BTW there is glass everywhere... I mean everywhere.... in every nook and cranny and crevice.

I am guessing a shopvac is the best tool to pcik it all up.

Should I begin cleanup before the glass service/adjuster gets here? Or leave it all for them to see. The police have already been around and filed their Crim. Misch. report.

p.s. I so hope they catch these punks and let us meter out some neighbourhood justice
