i know the feeling man. my eclipse at the time got ripped off in the pedit ice center parking lot by the fair wi fair grounds.... $700 in dash dvd player with sub and amp.... bitches even took my gas.

as for the radio, i have a stock radio you can just have for free if u want it. plug and go.

as for the window, i can help you replace the window when you get a window. check with autoglass specialists. if it is insured you will prolly have to go to a list of places they say you can go to.

I'm going to call around this morning to find a window and then see what the cost of them just setting the window inside the door (because I have the door panel and everything already off) compared to the cost of the window without installation.

I think I still have the stock one laying around here too, see if I can find it and let you know. I think I'm going to buy an aftermarket one for like a hundred bucks, I'm also looking into security systems that are a little more advanced compared to the stock one. Figured if I'm going to have my car parked down here for a while, probably wouldn't be a bad thing to have.

HAHA. I think it can be tweeked into a "she said". But thanks, it could have been way worse, they could have messed up my interior or my exterior, at least they were nice about it...I guess.

have you seen the original gone in 60 secs(1974)?

You should put a real tiger in the rear seat.

If you have the door panel off, removing the broken window and installing the new one is EASY. The window is held in place with 2 hairpin clips. You can see them through the holes in the doors. I removed my windows to tint them. One hole has a foam piece over it, a little bigger than a business card. I carefully cut mine away with a straight razor so I could put it back. You have to roll the window in the correct position, about 1/3 of the way down to see the hairpins. BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING THE CLIPS, DON'T DROP THEM IN THE DOOR, HARD TO GET THEM OUT THE THE HONEYCOMB DOWN THERE. I used needle nose pliers to get mine out. Once you have the pins out, the bottom of the window frame has track guides that hold the arms that rise the windows up and down. The arms have studs that pop out of the plastic track guides. They are a little hard to pop out but you may be able to pry them out of the socket with a screw drive or just use your fingers to push (the window frame) & pull (the arm that raises the window).

Hope things get back in shape for you.

I was actually leaning more towards flame throwers underneath my car, and then if they are able to get passed that, the tiger would be a great addition. Good idea.
