I was one of the last people leaving church. When I pressed the unlock button on my alarm it made an extra chirp signaling that the alarm had gone off. I walk around the car to inspect for damage and see the broken front passenger window. :-( It was raining the whole day, so everything on that side of the car is soaked.

The good part
Nothing was stolen. Laptop under the drivers seat, Pioneer AVIC-F700BT, iPod, everything was untouched. My alarm worked!!

Now, how much does one of these windows cost?

Glad to hear that nothing was stolen!! But sucks that the interior is soaked and a broken window, but hey, at least that's cheaper than a lot of your stuff gettin stolen

Glad to hear nothing was taken, but sorry to hear about the broken window and soaked the ride.

make sure to clean up the water or you will have one nasty mold mess to clean up and I am very sorry to hear about your car. The front windows I believe are like $150

With a lot of auto insurance policies, auto glass is covered 100% with no deductible. Find out before buying a new window.

^2x and get a rug doctor to get the water out and then clean with it...

Same thing happened to me at my old place. They saw my iphone's power cable sitting inside and they probably thought I had something in my car. They busted one of the front windows with a freakin rock.

Make sure to hit up a couple Junk Yards. You can get the Window replacement cheaper there. I got my front side passenger window replaced for $75 with installation.
Dealership quoted me $180+ for the window alone. Installation extra.

Found the glass for $83. Put it in myself, not very difficult. The actual "putting it in" only took about 5 minutes. The rest was cleanup.

WOW! And it happened at your church? That's why they have people walking our lot durring services. Sad but true.

I was wondering....were the windows tinted? If yes, then did it help contain the glass like it should? VERY sorry to hear that happened.

it could have been a break in or it could have been a freak accident or something that just broke the window. lucky nothing was stolen. good job on the replacement.

@RC-PILOT: At church, but a couple hours after the service had ended. About the window tint - I don't have any, because I live in CA and had trouble with the cops with just 50% tint. I think that the tint film would have held the glass together fairly well though.

@draxcaliber: I was starting to think that it was a freak accident as well, but when I started cleaning everything up on Monday I saw some marks near the deck where they tried using a screw driver to pry it out.
