The thought crossed my mind, trying to grab a window from one of the racecar builds on here. Dealership says 2-3 business days to get the glass in, so no quick fix there. The install looks pretty dead easy, there's like 2 bolts to attach the glass, so I could do that myself. But yeah I don't know what the ins and outs of shipping auto glass safely are. I imagine UPS doesn't throw them in the back of their regular trucks, etc. That's probably why the dealer has to wait 2-3 days too.

I've got calls in to a couple of other auto glass shops around here to see if they can get the glass in quicker, as ideally I'd like to be able to drive outta town tomorrow night, but it's looking unlikely.

While I'm on this subject, I'd like to rant about dealers not stocking parts. You would think in a major city like Houston, even if not every dealer stocks everything, that between them all they'd have just about every common replacement part in stock and trade parts cross-town in a couple of hours. Yet no rear tires in stock, and no side window in stock. Both of which I imagine aren't very uncommon parts to order, given road hazards, theft, and collisions.
