Are windows covered on your insurance? When I broke the rear screen on my micra I rang them up and they found a place nearby to do it, I just had to pay the £60 the next day for it to get done, didnt affect NCB.
unfortunately not, being tight this year!
looked on ebay and there's a window on there for £9.99 + £9.95 postage
It's from nissanautoparts who i've had bits off before and they seem pretty good.Just workin out how to fit it now, any ideas? anyone done it?
if you can invest in some plastic window, they are lighter and be bought tinted if you want. oh and if they try to throw a brick at it again it would bounce back at them! http://www.plastics4performance.com/default.asp?
I'm waiting a quote back so will let AOC know.

Even if they happened to have a Stanley knife, they'd have a hard time getting through. They'd need cordless drill imagine. If you want ultra protection without the weight saving go for Supaglass by Pentagon, I believe they have a branch in Reading on Cardiff Road. Expect to pay more though.
sorry to hear that bud, ive had it done to me too on mi last car. make sure all the broken bits of glass a removed from the door before fitting the new window too.
can't really afford anything like that, there's a couple on ebay cheap, one of which is brand new
presumably they're all the same colour tint for an n15, mine seem to have a slightly grey tint as standard? you know how some can be slightly blue or green etc.
@ sam - no nothing seems damaged, maybe a slight scuff on drivers door card - but replacing that anyway
just loads of annoying glass fragments everywhere, got several cuts on they way home!

not done it myself, but being nissan they probably raided the parts bin and they will be similar to the micra, which i did. door card off, bottom of the glass will be 2 plastic clips that bolt to the winder mechanism,undo those, glass out. (or whats left of it
) probably have to attatch the clips to the new window, cue toms favourite tool BONDO then simply reverse the sequence and keep the window shut til the bondo goes off...anyone feel free to tell me bollocks if this is wrong.
ta.
and sorry to hear about it dude, must be awful to see that first thing in the morning...
well i got the new window in - thanks stu - but it seems quite slow when going up now?! what have i done wrong, any ideas?
also i think someone may have had a go at drivers side door lock, i struggle to get the key in now. if you look inside the lock, there's like a little metal flap that the key slides past, it looks a bit bent.
what options are there i can't fix it? (i'll try tomoz)
finally, what are opinions on a single wiper? i like them but only thing is they park quite high, presumably if you park them lower, they don't wipe very far on the driver's side? not good.
be honest - how chavvy are they?

I don't like. All the cheap citroens have single wipers, looks kinda ghey.
