Nothing makes you more upset than to find out some punk kid shot a BB gun at your car window, happened to me the other day. I was in search of a replacement car window….and free installation at my home or office.
You can do things the old fashioned way and break out the phone book and start making some phone calls or you can do things the easy and fast way thanks to the net and a totally free service provided by glass.net.
I used this free service and it worked great for me, I saved time and money using it and am suggesting you at least try this service before you buy a replacement car window elsewhere.
One thing I would highly suggest is that you ask for an auto insurance discount even if you do not have your insurance pay the cost. I asked for one and got it just for asking for an insurance discount. So, you never know until you ask, so ask.
I also wanted to make sure the safety rating on the replacement car window glass was as good or better than the original glass was.
I am a BUY USA kind guy and wanted a glass made in the US. Seems most of the cheap prices you will be quoted will come from China, so you might want to ask that too. I do not trust products from that country, call me old school.
This video I found was helpful to me, hopefully it will be to you too.
Post your comments.

If you find out that your car window has been broken, you can go to a nearby auto shop and ask if they have a replacement in stock. If you are successful in your search, then you can begin the process of replacing your car window. The first step is to make sure that you have the appropriate tools for the project. You will usually need a wide selection of hand tools, a tarp, a repair manual and a vacuum. The next thing to do is to safely remove the door panel of your car door and once you’ve found a plastic sheet under the panel, you can slowly peel it. You will probably see the pieces of glass from your old car window, remove those safely using gloves and your vacuum cleaner.
Putting in the glass
The next step is to fit in the new window through the two-inch wide slot located on the top of the door panel. This step can prove tricky because fitting in the glass may require that you unbolt some bolts on the door panel to provide more space for the fitting of the glass. Your repair manuals will come in very handy in this particular step. The repair manual will also show you the placement of the bracket and clips that were bonded to the glass. The next step is to make sure that the glass is aligned after you replace the bracket bolts and the weather-stripping on the door panel. After this, get the door panel back and align it to the window crank lever and test your new car window.
Doing repairs yourself can prove to be a tricky task, that is why repair manuals and a small amount of experience can come in handy in minor repair jobs such as the replacement of your car window.
