The cost of the glass depends on what zip code you are in. I check for Richmond area and found avg pricing for the glass is 175. that includes labor parts, glass, and taxes. Pm me with your zip and i can check to see what it is for you.

There are a few tips that I can give you but it is kind of late for the advise. Anyway, you should never:

- Leave your car parked outside the garage
- Never leave the CD player or any electronic devices visble(IPOD,cameras,cd players, radar detector, etc)
- Never park your car close to other cars, avoid getting to close to other cars(opening doors)


and you should:

Have an alarm with glass impact sensor(it only cost $25 for the sensor)
Have a motion sensor for your alarm
park in well illuminated areas

Sorry if it sounds silly and stupid tip but you can lower the chances of theft that way.

i double checked it for manassas and its running 175. i would contact your insurance and see if they can get you a discount on the glass from a provider that they use and if they took your h/u it should all fall under your comp coverage. it will not cover anything unbolted to the car but can help you with some of the stuff. Sorry couldn't be more help. good luck in getting everything back...

That's why I tinted my windows all dark as hell. People won't steal what they can't see. I rather drive around with illegal tint, then have someone break into my car. By the way, the insurance company won't pay for broken windows?

We don't all have removeable faceplates. And it would be rough to remove the in-dash 6-disk changer...
