    cameras checked all around hood. No angles which means I am getting more cameras

    confronted, cool, but not jumping up to pay. “They have a window guy”. Not sure I trust their Window guy even and maybe especially if it’s free…

    more to come. Good news is that I owe my landscaper money and he is top suspect Based on 2:45 minute time window it could of happened. No kids around and I was home!!! So no crazy noises or sightings just landscapers up and down block

    but no point going crazy with this…. I vented enough!!! Get it fixed and enjoy my taco again. Too many other big hard things going on in the world to worry about this relatively minor annoyance Gotta move on and keep the smile.

    But still might not pay landscaper This month. Will see

    From my understanding is that one panel can not replaced, only center one can be. So, if that the case, your whole back window needs to be. They are right around 1k for that new.

    After it is fixed, call up your insurance company and add glass protection, it's dirt cheap and cover glass damage with no deductible. It add pretty much nothing to the cost to cover all my vehicles and even covers the one's I just carry basic insurance on.

    Amen - I've replaced my windshield, it's just a matter of ongoing maintenance to me at this point. Usually need one every 3-4 years regardless of what I'm driving.

    Just throwing this out there :spy:

    https://www.amazon.com/Viofo-Dashboard-Camera-Vision-G-Sensor/dp/B07CT6JPYW

    I have one - actually, the rear camera is mounted just about where that rock hole is :rofl:

    Pay for month. Check contract, likely there's a clause about non-payments going to collections, regardless of if they caused damage. You pay for the services, then duke out damages after. Otherwise they have every right to send your bill to collections and that's just going to F you over.

    Where OP at?

    Some places don't have it, some are required to.

    And on top of that, a lot of the snow belt states have stuff in there that 1 windshield per year cannot affect your premiums.

    Make sure you get a full replacement type of window. My buddy just had his replaced, and it didn't go well. Crap install job and they put in a one panel window, so he lost the power slider. Really not good.
