Bummer...

Parked my Cobalt after a nice wash after work and stored her in the garage to weather out the coming snow...5 hours later, I hear a "pop" in the garage...went to check it out and find this...





No one was in the garage and nothing was in contact with the side glass...the only thing holding the pieces together is the tint...I'm off to a great start of my Christmas vacation...

Don't think so...the wash was nearly 6 hours before the break and the car was dry, the garage was around 40F...must've been a fault in the glass itself that finally gave way...


Does anyone know if Henderson Glass can fix this sort of thing? I've had them do windshield but don't know if they do other glass...gotta wait till Monday to see whether the insurance or warranty will take care of this...

I would assume that if you have glass coverage that it would cover all glass on the car. I would hope so at least.

The only fix here is a new window and more tint.

Merry Christmas!

Perhaps it was a poltergeist. And that mini looks like a freaking space shuttle from the inside. So many gauges and switches and gizmos, googogs and doodads.
