Hi, I was in Chicago for 12 months, left my Fabia 1.9 SDI at my brothers, parked on his drive. Came back 2 days ago and realized that someone had broke the small vent window on the drivers side rear door (see picture below). Luckily enough for me, the car was empty so nothing of value was stolen.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a replacement? Or somewhere that is able to fix? I'm not the best DIY'r, but I'm not afraid to get down and dirty and do it myself.

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks.

have u tried Autoglass???

I don't know if you're being serious, or joking? Hah. I never would've thought they'd replace small windows, only like door windows and front/rear window. I suppose it's worth a try. Thanks!

Probably be easier to claim on your windscreen cover, through your insurance.

Ask a Skoda dealer how much the glass is - then decide whether to do it yourself or pay the £50/60 excess on the windscreen cover.

Best picture I could get:

only thing it if you claim on your insurance it gets logged against you,

changed my insurance to skoda and had to get proof of no claims and a smashed side window i had was logged as "prejudicial to no claims" but my windscreen claim was not ??

depends if you have your no claims protected, be wary may be better to get auto glass or skoda to fix

Same window that got broken on my car when mine was broken into earlier in the year. I claimed on the insurance windscreen policy as it worked out cheaper and I didn't loose any no claims.

My excess was £75 and Autoglass came the same day. However Autoglass told me the window to buy on its own without going through the insurance was in the region on £160. I was very shocked! Unless you can find one at a scrap yard I'd stick to Autoglass or similar that know what they are doing!!!

Some folks might find that a contradictory statement

We paid around 70 quid to have the same window replaced via autoglass after a break in.

They'll probably ask you what colour glass it is. We said clear and the one they brought

didn't match the others. Turns out we should have asked for green.

They replaced the window but reused the seal, I wasn't 100% happy with their

work to be honest, but I am a fussy bu99er.

Cant belive the hastle people have went through to replace the window! Probly cost a couple of quid from a scrap yard and once the door card is PULLED OFF, two screws removed... that window is held in place by ONE screw on the rubber seal.

30 minute job and about a tenna for the glass.

Thanks you all so much!

Just pleased you got it sorted easily and cheaply.
