Woke up to that.

Great. Car is only insured TPFT coz its worth naff all and autowindscreen want £200+vat to replace it.

So in hunt for new boot

[ozonehostile]

Found out what's broken it yet?

[Piggy]

Theres no stones, rocks, slates, nothing within 20feet.

Either someone came in and vandalised it or it self smashed!

[Chris_90]

I no weres there is a boot lid in silver could find out price but be a pain getting it to you

[7057sam]

That shit mate,can't help but feel someone did it as its at the top and tailgate it's damaged just the screen.does take a fair old whack to go through one aswell.

definitely time to go down the scrappy,probably get one for 25-30 quid

[Piggy]

just waiting on someone to get back to me...about 25miles away, right colour.

boots got dents anyway, but would have rather found one in my own time without having to clear up 100000s of bits of glass.

spose I can get that rear light cluster board at same time, maybe a wing too.

[7057sam]

Just hope was one of those random things that happen once in a blue moon.

hows your street for crimes,yobs,chavs??

Maybe a idea to report it to the police,they ll probably do f*ck all but may send a patrol car up and down a few times a day.

[Piggy]

Its on a private estate.
Only access at night is via a pitch black churchyard

[Grant]

That's proper shit mate.


Hopefully it won't cost too much to get sorted.


Silver lining : could have been the 306

[Piggy]

I know...when I spotted it, my thoughts were 'ruddy vandals....what have they done to the 306!'

[Dum-Dum]

Shitter mate, I'd still reckon on something falling off the building. Even a tiny stone if its rolled from the top and hit the window right on the edge could of done it and i wouldn't think vandals because of where on the window it is.

[Tom]

Thats twice now someones smashed your windows

But yeah that sucks balls, id be fuming.

[Piggy]

Theres a screen along the edge of the roof to stop things like that falling off....so I doubt it.

And it takes some effort to smash a screen

[1616six]

Someone hates you..

[puglove]

seems weird i cant imagine any one did it over night there, i just cant see some one sneaking in there

[Piggy]

Me neither!

[puglove]

Could have been just a freak glass explosion, factory defect on the edge or something you never know.

Or you have some REALLY heavy birds around your area landing on your car LOL

FTFY

Seriously though, that is proper shit mate. Hope you manage to sort it soon, nice touch if you manage to get the boot in the right colour!

[Eeyore]

Hmm thats a bummer. my initial thought could be that something came off the roof. My mate was driving his clio and the rear window shattered randomly. Maybe its just a thing that rarely happens.

[bigcheez2k3]

When I was on 106owners I saw this happen a few times, but usually because of either the demister or they were driving over rough ground.

[Niall]

Phone around. When i smashed the rear window on my old one, i paid £90 fitted for one. Although that was mates rates, it was never going to be £200!

[DazzaHDI]

If it's happened before, fit covert cctv??

[Toms306]

Probably just random bad luck tbh!

Think about how many times that boot lid gets slammed and the demister heats up the frozen glass....its bound to cause small fractures eventually, which lead to bigger failures lol.

[Dum-Dum]

It takes some effort to smash a screen

It doesn't! You genuinely can do it by throwing a bit of gravel at the window. There is more technique than force.

[Paul_13]

You can smash a car window with a hacksaw blade!

[kentiiboii]

Thats seriously bad luck, as you say dount anyone would come to do it as itd be random thing to do.

At least its not the 306, but not much problem as theres a mint boot on my garden. :-)

[Piggy]

Thanks lads.

Hope to sort a boot tomorrow all being well

[procta]

bastard that is!

[Piggy]

well, not too bad of a colour match



spent some time feeding the loom into new boot as was a pov spec boot, but it meant no soldering.
theres some major panel gaps...think new one is twisted, but dont really care. it shuts.

also spotted this down at the scrappy...



unfortunately couldnt find the cold side

[Martin306]

didn't realise the 106 was a 5 door.

5 door fwend!
