$100 deductible.. insurance paid rest. and it was not cheap, because the frame was messed up, as well as scratches on the door, the body shop ended up repainting the whole right top side of the car because according to them, it's Glacier Frost Mica, ie hard to match. i'll take his word for it as i've been going to this guy for over 15 years.. everytime i see him, he goes "what happened this time?" . the police never did get back to me.. all this for a $50 strap on baby carrier. stupid. at least make it worth while, my neighbor's jeep cherokee was broken into for some $3000 worth of FBI material/equipment. i wonder if that was ever traced

Buy the window and have a different place install it. I'll ask my friend at Lexus and see if he can hook you up with his discount on the window =) I'll PM you later on today. Good luck.

anyway, see what your insurance says. usually, it's comprehensive deduction, theft coverage, probably around $100... most don't jack up the price due to theft. double check.
thats how they tried to get into my GS. if you really looked, you could see where they tried to pop a flathead behind the door pillar. guess it didnt work to well as they never got in. didnt do too much damage, just a little dent on the pillar.

Nothing was visible for people to steal so I am still ????????? why they broke into my window. I think the person that broke in noticed I didn't have anything in there so they decided not to open my door and search.

yes. go ask your insurance company what your comprehensive/theft insurance is. it is not the collision part of your insurance. also be sure to ask if your rates will go up if you do file a comprehensive/theft claim.

of course, if u go with repairing it yourself, then yes, it'll cost 330 labor and 330 part from lexus

Yea I did call my insurance and they told me better off and cheaper if I pay it myself. They said I don't have the insurance for window break in so what kind of full coverage do I have? it ain't full coverage!!! time to get a new insurance co.
