Bang

Feb 11, 2007 1 Replies

Parked up the SD1 in town yesterday, and there was a slight bang when I closed the door and locked things. Sounded a bit like a plastic water bottle bursting. Thinking it might be in the boot, opened the hatch. Nothing. Closed the hatch and most of the window fell in...



Strangely, the same happened to my brother last year with his BMW E28. In all my years driving I've only had one window shatter, and that was a screen on the autobahn. So was probably a stone. This simply self destructed. The heater was on, but the day not cold.



I've contacted Autoglass about having it replaced - it's covered by the insurance. Not heard back from them. Rimmer don't list the correct spare. They do sell plain (instead of tinted) glass unheated, though. Wonder if they'll source the correct one?


Crap! it missed you then, you just try watching out for us cyclists in future! you need to re-take your driving test if you have ever taken one in the first place, I thought the congestion charge was mean't to rid the roads of idiots like you!
