Sh!t happens
 
Would love to blame someone for this, but I guess it was meant to happen - one of these freak accidents I guess :iono:

This afternoon in Midrand, a stone or something from the hedge trimmer came flying along and smacked my passenger window, while I was driving by. Good news is that smash and grab works, bad news is that the window will need replacing. Guess I'm gonna find out tomorrow how long parts for the GT86 take to arrive. Luckily nothing besides the window glass was damaged.

Will also be interesting to see how insurance does this - technically it's glass only damage so I need to go to PG/Glasfit, but the parts will probably need to come from Toyota. Just wondering who/where my car will stand by - certainly not going to leave it standing at PG/Glasfit...

that sucks, but the effect does look kinda cool ...

Not cool at all! But I'm sure you could get the city to pay. Same as when you hit a pothole.

Just shows how a freak accident can happen!

Bummer!!
But your car still looks cool, even with the broken window. :w00t:

Moe 01-28-2014 11:46 AM

LOL - the "shattered" pattern does look cool. Maybe I started a new JDM trend to counter the Euro rust look :D

Hope your insurance covers it.

sav 01-29-2014 09:49 AM

Update Moe? Do you know if they have stock yet?

Moe 01-29-2014 11:09 AM

Waiting on PG glass Fourways. Will know more by tomorrow how long it will take - either way insurance will cover it under glass damage claim only.

sav 01-29-2014 11:19 AM

Cool, I really hope they do have stock.

Got an estimate from PG Glass on 3-5 day delivery expected from Toyota.

Is this window tinted? Surprised to see it not fall apart since it's tempered glass.
