Nice Welcome Home Gift

Well, I came home to my drivers side window getting smashed in ....It cost $150 to replace but they stole my Tom Tom.... The repair shop vaccumed, but what is the best way to make sure all the glass is gone?

That sucks. My dad had a windshield shatter a while back. We sold the car about a year laster and everytime I cleaned it I would find glass. But that was the wind shield.

Bloody thieves.


Oh, and vaccuum, then vaccuum again, and then again. You are going to find glass for at least a year. It gets everywheren. Just make sure you go over it a few times.

yeah someone broke into one my old car about about 3 years ago and I'm still finding glass in the cracks of the back seats.

I had a cheap old CD player in it, but they apparantly wanted it bad. At least they were nice enough not to cut the wires and leave the pigtail connector (I have no idea what you call that thing) in the car and only break the break the rear vent window. So it was nothing more than getting another vent window and putting the factory radio back in the car.

we had rear window broken couple weeks ago. Good luck getting all that glass out. You'll need a good,thin nozzle to get into the tiny spaces. Check your spare tire well too and in your rear speakers...everywhere!!

Good that it can't cut, that is my main concern.
