[s-cars] smashed rear window

[Derek Pulvino]

For what it's worth, I had the rear window broken in my car, but my car is
also a 200.  I was able to get a replacement from the junkyard from a
different 5k quattro, but it sounds like you're already considering this
angle for your situation, although pretty sure you're not looking at moding
to fit 5k glass.

No lasting damage, just frustration for a couple of weeks.

Subject: [s-cars] smashed rear window

my car was vandalized last night along with several other cars, including
a brand-new E46 BMW that didn't even have plates yet.  police had already
taken a report on the incidents by the time i came out and saw my car.

the rear window was smashed, and there's some damage to the leather
of the left rear headrest.  there's also a dent in the trunk lid,
as well as some scraped/scratched paint from the glass on the trunk lid
and rear bumper.  there may be some other minor damage from the flying
glass, but i haven't examined the car thoroughly yet.

the object that caused the dent in the trunklid was nowhere to be found.
either the perp took it, or the police picked it up.

any tips for me on dealing with the rear window?  unfortunately, it
was a '92 with the quattro script.  i have a feeling that i'm not
going to be able to get a similar replacement, and that the new window
glass will be like the '93+ cars without the quattro script.
