Good morning.... NOT!!

ajm216 · 05-15-2015, 10:34 AM

Looks like they broke/kicked the glass and climbed thru the window.

I'm getting the glass tomorrow from the dealer where I purchased the car for $265. Cleaning up the broken glass and installing the new one will be tomorrows task.

The broken/damaged plastic parts I will get from Ebay.

This was purely amateur hour, they tried to pry the plastic from around the radio.

The starter button was separated found the parts and put it back together hit the button and she came to life!!!!

I have a tilt module installed I guess I need to cover more bases of protection.

So you're going to put her back together yourself? Why not insurance?

Or buying the parts from eBay and giving to the autoshop to pocket more from insurance?

The price parts will be lower than my deductible. I've done the door glass twice on my G35c so that's not going to be a big deal.

The plastic trim that I do need I'll pick on Ebay.

I like to do my own repairs when possible so I know its done correctly. I've had work at the Infiniti dealership when I had my G35c that was unacceptable.

What part of MD did this happen?

I'm so sorry to see that.

nis350 · 05-15-2015, 04:21 PM

Sorry.. That's terrible. Low life was obviously looking for some valuables in your car.

MagmaRed370z · 05-15-2015, 10:07 AM

sucks man, I am sorry that happened to you. Any security cameras around or anything like that?

jmayz · 05-15-2015, 10:37 AM

Can you see your car from your apartment? I would seriously look at putting a security camera in a window or something facing it. More than likely the culprits are neighbors and might try to hit it again. You can even get cameras that have audible alarms on motion sensing to let you know someone is near the car.

I would genuinely enjoy giving those perps a good old fashioned curb stomp.

Insurance will usually cut him a check for the damage amount minus deductible. He can then take it somewhere to get worked on or DIY and pocket most of that money.

Seems like such a hassle though.

jmayz · 05-15-2015, 11:52 AM

Although if you are still making payments you may have to let someone else work on it. I had an insurance claim on a car years ago after someone hit my fender. Put a very minor dent in it and insurance gave me 1200 to get it fixed. I didn't want to fix it at all, but because I was making payments they made the check out to me and the car loan bank. The car loan bank would not release the money to me until I paid the car off. So that 1200 sat in their bank for a couple years earning interest (lol) and the day I paid off the car they gave me the check.

Weird, but some times you are at their mercy.

In the future turn your wheels all the way to the left or right in park, it helps deter wheel thieves from targeting your car.
