in Praise, vent & warnings
Dear all,
Can you believe this ....on trip from Scotland to London ( slow drive down with family & friends) stop off at Wolverhampton town centre for my drivers window to be completly gone ( entire glass lifted out) whilst I took the kids to the loo. Broad daylight, passing traffic & pedistrians.
Will I be visiting this place again NEVER - speechless
Has anything similar happened to any of you ? Dreading the cost of this ....

    Are you sure the cables haven't snapped and the glass is actually inside the door.

    In order to remove the window, the door card would probably need to be removed, which isnt likely to be possible without opening the door.
    Are you sure the glass hasnt just dropped down into the door?

    I can assure you, I have prodded, poked & whatever else - the entire glass is taken. Even when I use the button to raise the glass - it just churns over ( no glass to raise up) it's been to garage awaiting a quote ,,,

    Why would you stop off at Wolverhampton town centre?
