Hi all,
Just putting the feelers out to see if anyone has a tailgate glass or know of anyone breaking an estate ?

[05omegav6]

What you done? Have a genuine un used VX one here, but really don't fancy posting it Will just go and check that it's still intact, as it's buried in the garage

Appears intact, but can't be certain from 8 feet away it's shrinkwrapped with foam edging all the way round it. Certainly I've been careful not to drop anything on it

Does your insurance have glass cover

[waspy]

I have one that you're welcome to have FOC. Welcome to collect It's currently stuck to the tail gate. What's the best way to remove one?

Carefully


Stanley blade around the glass from the inside, be sure to cut through to the metal though
alternative would be to remove all the window trim and cut away the metal around the glass, this gives better access to the mastic that needs completely cutting through to liberate the glass

Don't be tempted to get 95%of the way round and try to force it. Only result from that is glass everywhere Took some explaining at the scrappy last time I tried it

Thats very kind of you mate .  Not sure how you remove one to be honest the last time i had a screen from a breakers they used a tool that was a wire with blocks and it took awhile.  Can i ask what colour the tailgate is mate?

I have done some grinding at the back of the car when i was puuting an irmscher rear bumper on and i have got grinded bits stuck in the glass and i wanted to tint the glass but it will look crap and i'm gutted i have done this so now its just bugging the crap out of me lol.  I must admit i never gave any thought to the bits flying all over the place....Oh yes cause i'm a dumb ass  .

  mine still has bits of welding shrapnel all over it from when the roof was plated.

When it got rear ended the first time, I had to put a new tailgate on it and I bought the new window just in case, but the chap who repaired it managed to get it out in one piece

Have you tried Pimhole?  Autosave & Bury Salvage are the best bets 

[biggriffin]

 pay the excess on the insurance and get a new one. when they ask say it broke when you shut the tailgate,wait for the fitter to arrive,if he gets funny about it not being broke, just wack it with a hammer,and say it is now...

I would do that but i had to get a new windscreen in sept due to a crack from a stone on the motorway so it looks abit to funny if i had to claim again.
