Rx300 quarterlight glass replacement

[Roy Butler]

Hi everyone 

Some moron broke the glass of my driver's side rear quarterlight and whilst I can get the glass I am unsure how to remove and replace the glass so if anyone can advise on the procedure I would be very grateful. 

Thank you.

I think there are companies out there that specialise in these repairs and can do it for you maybe even under your insurance policy.

As above, if you have fully comprehensive insurance they usually have a “Recommended” company like Autoglass.

It is DIYable but if you have no previous experience removing the door trim panel and window guides get someone else to do it.

Do premiums go up for claiming for window? 

I was told not but never been sure.

I understand not but the excess has increased to around £75.00 now.

The only thing that does concern me is would a smashed side window be classed as attempted theft by the insurer whereas a stone damaged windscreen be not.
