Default Has anyone had side glass succesfully replaced in the UK ?

As posted on here some theiving **** tried to break into my car months ago. Double pane passenger side window did the job and tought them a lesson.

Went to Autoglass in Camden(London for those of you in the US >yes you can ignore ) who took a few days to realsie I wasn't dicking em about when I said "it is double pane, isn't it ?"

They then took nearly 2 months to get it in.

I took the car up on a Saturday, waited in Starbucks for 2 hours, only to be told; "the parts were incomplete". Fair-nuff, the supplier should have sent the full window unit. They order another.

Another month down the line, I'm waiting again, only to be told "we're teribly sorry sir, we broke the new pane just as it was going in".

I'm generous in my patientice but thought I better ask in case another Autoglass branch knows what the hell its doing.

Have a good weekend all

Default I've seen it done at the dealership. It is tricky.

However in Audi sales training, they handed us goggles and small hammers and then had us try to smash our way through the pane. Tough stuff.
