Hey! Someone broke my passenger's side rear window!

I went out to the car this evening and found the window broken. Dewey had been barking some in the afternoon but at the time I didn't know what it was she was barking at...still don't.

Of course, nothing appears to be missing, as usual with people breaking into my car.

So, does anyone have any window glass recommendations in the DC area?

that really really sucks. i know my parents had some body work done on my mom's car a couple years ago. it's too late at night to call them right now, but i'll try them tomorrow - if you still need it!

I'm going to try and get this dealt with in the morning, but if I don't, I'll definitely let you know.

Might not be the angle you're after, but I've found side windows to be less annoying to just replace myself rather than find someone to deal with on my schedule; it's an easy job on every car I've ever had. Perhaps not worth bothering if insurance is dealing for you, though.

Yeah, I did one, but there are three problems:

a) I'm in Maryland, so I'm far from home and all my gear

b) It's winter, so it's hard for me to drive the car around looking for parts

c) I need to be on my way soon, so I can't spare a lot of time dealing with this; I need the car ASAP

Yeesh! My sympathies. (Some time I must tell you about when [livejournal.com profile] gravitrue borrowed my car and it got broken into by the dumbest criminal in Baltimore. On Valentine's Day. What is it with visiting Maryland in the winter?)

I wish I could remember the place we took it to so I could tell you NOT to go there. It was some branch of Safelite and they were complete idiots, that's all I can remember.

Amusingly enough, GEICO recommended Safelite. Thanks for the warning.

Well, it was quite a while ago. They're probably staffed by completely different idiots now.

But yeah, I'd move Safelite to the bottom of the list. I wish I had a positive recommendation to make!
