A 1000 dollar comp deductible is insane. I lowered my comp to 0 (mainly because of deer) and still only pay 110 a month for full coverage.

I had my passenger side window broken and it was about 280 with labor. It was a genunine mitsubishi window. If you want to spend a little less you can try stadium auto glass by shea stadium. Its and the end of all the little shops and junkyards near the stoplight.

renters insurance covers the contents of the vehicle, car insurance covers damage, get renters insurance its about 100 bucks for 6 months and worth it.

Im in the auto glass business in MA. I know things are a little different from state to state but check with you ins company. The 1000 ded usually applys to body damage and there is a different ded for glass. ( $0 ded in mass). As far as what you can use, they are all the same, even the front windshield. If you end up paying cash for it just say its a lancer. It will be alot easier than trying to explain what an evo is.
FYI anyone looking to junkyards or wrecked lancers/evos for glass, I wouldnt recommend using the windshield. They are always pitted and have small scratches from the wiper blades. No warranty on the windshield either. If it brakes putting it in your screwed.
1 more thing, anybody can put their own door glass in. Its only 2 10mm bolts holding it in. If your looking to save a buck do it yourself.

Yep, change the glass yourself so you are sure to get all of the pieces out of the bottom of the door and then move somewhere with a garage. Just the thought of leaving my Evo outside makes me cringe.

cheapest is having the glass made by a 3rd party. The official Mitsubishi part is too expensive.

I feel the same way! Every EVO deserves the right to have a roof over its head! You my friend, are an EVO abuser!

Man I remeber stuff like that, someone would break one of your windows to test to see if you had an alarm, if you didnt they'd come back in about a week and rob you blind...
