    Gardeners



    He's doing this: then kicks up a stone, impacted right underneath the wiper arm and you get the above result.

    On top of a new screen you will need another sticker, so make sure you hit him up for an additional $5.

    Are you able to claim against him - sorry to hear about this. I fear people with brushcutters when I drive past them...

    He's offered to pay for the lot thankfully! (well maybe not the $5 ) He's also going to have to cough up to get the replacement retinted too.

    Initial quote from O'briens for genuine replacement: ~$720 fitted
    They're on the hunt for a 2nd hand one now...

    Whatever you do, don't to Mickey - if it were NRMA they would almost written the VR6 off at a $800 repair!

    Hope it is sorted for you soon mate.

    You shouldnt have to do the running around finding a new one, its his fault and he should be doing it and pay what ever it costs to get done!

    Probably, but I kind of like taking charge of fixing my own car.

    Well once again joe @ golfwagen comes up trumphs with the entire tailgate off a wrecked vr6. The glass will be transplanted tomorrow at o'briens, w00t

    The glass is in! Hooray!!!

    However the fitment is poor and my spoiler no longer sits flush with the tailgate. They claim they cant do anything about it because they didnt have a geniune VW glass rubber grommet mount thingy so had to use a generic one. Pretty lame!! So now the glass sits out a few mm more then it should stock. ARgh&(@&)^&
