M35 Rear Glass Window - How Much Does It Cost? Nissan Bending Me Over.

[tygarbyte]

Long story short, wasnt paying attention in car park - looking at reverse camera and not out the windows. Happened at Westmead Childrens carpark on split lvl.

so will cost me roughly $1515.80 to fix where my insuarance will only cover $1000 and I have to foot the rest. Currently no wreckers have stagea rear windows.

Is this normal price coming from nissan brand new including install. 6-8 week leadtime.

For genuine glass window, yeah that is about right for the price. It's expensive as hell to get.

Wrecker price here about $300 fitted.

Forget Nissan

Try the replacement glass firms or keep looking - someone must be wrecking one.

[PN-Mad]

Whatever an wrecker or ebay wants for one.

Get in touch with Scotty.

Sorry not new here - just cant get into my old account.

Bangahh since 2002, I have tried Ebay - might as well bite the bullet. thanx

[scotty nm35]

I have one, but you are more than welcome to spend the coin if you want to...

$1550? For twice that you can buy a running M35!

I paid $250 for whole tailgate from a wrecker and $150 for window replacement. Same as you, I broke mine in underground car park.... Sigh.

thanks, dont really want to wait 6-8 weeks, Im based in Ryde NSW

I guess shipping was going to be the issue.

[tygarbyte]

Dont really want to spend the coin, Insurance company allows one free glass replacement a year capped at $1K

Going thru insurance preferred agent, apparently none in sydney wreckers. Im told.

Unlesss someone has one in Sydney - I'll call around just to make sure there is none before i order off nissan.

[Daleo]

It's almost as if you didn't read that Scotty has one that you can buy for a shiteload less than buying through Nissan?

I bet you could have it shipped from Melbourne to Ryde pretty easily too.

Why do people want to do things the hard way?

If you've got $1K of insurance money to spend, I'll personally drive one to your door, lol.

[Brick]

Pay me the $1000 and I'll drive to Melbourne next week and collect it from Scott and bring it back for you.

thanks guys for your response, problem with shipping glass / fragile item is that most normal transport company wont gurantee insure it unless you use a company that specialise in fine arts ( apparently ) I have used something similar for transporting Servers and they arnt cheap.

BTW - I did give Scotty a call.

The thought of driving to Melb myself did cross my mind, but im dealing with the insurance preferred agent. This is the first accident i have had in 15 years ( 10yrs in R33 and 4yrs in M35 )

I could have met you at the border and done the dodgy deal in a truck stop. lol.

With enough bubble wrap or blankets I am sure it would have made it fine. This way you would have got the whole window in the frame with switch, hinges etc, not just the glass.

[Grimi]

Go with Scotty bud, save yourself the hassle + saves your glass replacement for another window.

[ECR33_RB25DET]

Go with Scotty mate.

My Nissan contact in Japan quoted $884 for the glass plus $492 Dhl express shipping.
