head unit screen cracked
 
So, a rogue ball was flying around my car and hit and spiderwebbed my head unit....


my question for everyone simply is.. What do i do....

Can i get a replacement screen or glass? Do i go to the dealer and cry warranty and blame it on something else?

What suggestions do you guys have.. not trying to spend much money on it to be honest.. but i do want it to be fixed.. Thanks!

Don't bother fight the dealer lol!

Just go to a place that fixes laptops or cell phones, they might beable to fix it provided they get a screen.

If it is OEM unit, you may have a chat with the folks in the parts department of the dealership and find out if replacement screens are available.

If it's an aftermarket unit, try the same thing on-line to try to find a replacement screen.

Redneck method; chip out what's left of the old screen and cut a piece of plex-a-glass and stick it in there ..... :D

You forgot: "pour yourself your favorite alcoholic drink". I am disappointed. :cry:

You're right ..... I forgot to remind them......

However, it's a given, the "redneck" fix for anything ...... always involves beer .....:cheers:
