Some arsehole keyed my window!!!

Yep, some sad pathetic excuse of a person keyed my front passenger window. I took it by the dealership today and they recommended that I replace the door (jk). No but seriously they want $450 to fix it. $300 to replace the window and $150 to retint the window. I tried to tell them that were in The Great Depression part Deux but they wanted no part of it. I guess I'll take it up the rear on this one.

I got my entire car tinted for $160!! Tell them to stick it and go elsewhere. Check with a pro glass shop for the window & install.

Go elsewhere. Why do we always insist by being ripped by the stealership?

$150 for 1 window of tint? I did my front two windows in the truck (Back three tinted at factory) for $50 bucks and it iwas 3M tint.

Time to look for anyone else.

Go to the junk yard and buy a window for your car there. Then get it tinted and installed. You could do this all yourself. It is really easy to do.

From what I gather the key cut into the glass, right? Must have used a damn ice pick. I watch where I park all the time, either arseholes or idiots, the results are the same. Hope that you run into the SOB and either key them or dot his eye.

...I use to cut on a glass surface of my desk with an X-ACTO knife all the time...I could never scratch or scuff it...I have no idea how you key a window...are there actual scrapes/marks on the window surface? or dings (like rock chips)??? If it is the latter, I would guess the ice pick explanation makes sense...if the OP can clarify what kind of "damage" is on the window, maybe there are suggestions as to how to fix it without having to swap it out for a new one...

We need to cane these goblins like they do in Singapore. Yes, for defacing vehicles. I actually spoke with one of the investigators that interviewed the goblins that did it while I was over there on a separate matter. If my memory serves me right, it was in 94. They spray painted several cars, kicked car doors and broke several car windows with bricks. You can be sure thay won't do it again.

Feel for ya. I've had my Accord keyed twice randomly. I'm with everyone else though, how does a window get keyed? I don't get it.
