Long story short, some complete idiots decided to smash my drivers window whilst driving on a dual carriageway (police were notified but advise me to "just go home" as they were "too busy").

Has anyone had one replaced? Don't think I'm gonna find one in a scrappy anytime soon so Gonna have to hope autoglass etc have them available and not too expensive.

Grrrr
 
i had auto glass do mine the next day after mine got smashed, had to pay 20 quid, but i now see the window isnt the same as the first one as it rattles very so slightly when its down and windy, or driving at high speeds a 1/4 of the way down. any further and the rattle goes yet the window is installed perfectly. bit off, maybe a bit thinner or slightly outta shape
 
Got one sorted through karl now and the glass is cleaned up both from the car floor and inside the door, all taped up waiting til Tuesday
 
:( not good mate, what on Earth did they do?!
 
6 of us in convoy to leake st for photos and Tinseltown for milkshake when a van came up behind me quite close... We wernt going very fast so thought is move out the way. They then sped up and were inches from the next car who moved over. Ofcourse they moved onto the next car who had their kid in there and were tailgating them, then undertook and starte swerving towarda them almost putting them into the barrier.

Next thing I know, a minibus/van thing comes up beside me and BANG, window blew. Slammed on the breaks then realised I needed the plate so chased them, got the plate then phoned the lead car to let them know. By this stage I was covered in glass and not knowing what to do! We all pulled off and everyone helped clean up whilst we all phoned the police about the two vans who we believe were together (for all we know full of pikeys or something).

What I don't get is none of us did anything to piss these people off, they just came from nowhere an targeted us :( no idea if they threw something, hit with a bar or maybe an airgun. Was nothing in the car unfortunately :( apparently the first van had its doors open at some stage shooting abuse.. Not good! Not really sure how I didn't swerve and crash or anything. They could have killed a few people including a child :(

Police decided they were too busy and told me to go home :s I went to my local police station this morning after cleaning up the remainder and inside the door but they were closed early :s

Makes you think twice about other cars and has certainly made me paranoid... The journey home was very long and cold lol.
 
**** man, that sucks....sad to hear it =(
Hope this isn't a recurring thing in your area or in general...I'm paranoid enough about my car as it is!!!

M
 
sorry to hear that mate! they are scum and i hope they get whats deserved. from that post Karl made about leake st you probably were.

Glad to hear you got away unharmed, it could of been a lot worse than a broken window.

Cant believe the police, if you had gone at them with something, they would of probably arrested u instead of the real scummers.

Just glad no one was hurt!!
 
Ah read about this on Facebook. Sometimes you wish you could be the unmarked police car and go and pull them over.
Some nasty people in this world unfortunately. Did you get a good look at the culprits?
 
Didn't see anyone as they were all tinted and it was pretty dark :(

We think we may know where the van is from and worrying it could be fairly local. All the information we've found out has been passed to the police by others so hopefully they will look into it and find something.
 
Have been speaking to a few people and have "some details" ;)

Window is fitted, thanks for supplying it Karl. I took plenty of photos and will write a quick guide for reference.
 
They are scum mate. People that are like that will get whats coming to them one day. They probably thought nice car and we have a ****** van, owell lets reck it. D**ks.
