Well rodger me dry. Thats well s**t for you mate. Can't believe it. Its like there's a crime spree against our Polo Gti's.

Have noticed that the stamp on the window is different so now all four side windows don't match. Also don't think the window is quite fitted right as it makes a slight strange noise just before it closes.

Can't believe it.

o dear
was it for the smaller front one? because i thought the lettering/spacing was fine now ?

-Ben-

Nah, it was more the spacing that anything mate.

Still I'm hoping (money permitting) to now bid on 77 TOM at the DVLA Auction in April.

Bummer..!! Feel for ya...!!! Not the kind of thing you want to see when approaching your car... Unnecessary hassle/stress...

Good Luck in sorting it out...!!!

Off work today gonna call dead at 8:30am find out, what time there gonna come sort the window.

Its parked in a relatives drive at the moment.

Am gonna have a word with my insurance company about service recived from RAC, what a load of cow-boys.

If its done early gonna go upgrade the alarm.

mate its so s**t

hope you get this sorted ok

really sorry to hear about that...
i know how it feels when someone or people, do this, but then make off with pretty much all you've worked hard for.

I have had fitment issues in the past with windscreens. I now always specify that I want genuine parts. This also ensures that you get the correct tint.

What is it with people these days. You seem to be taking it all very well. I'd be in tears if that was me. But i do agree with you. Other people are probably going through worse things at the moment. You got a good way of thinking.

Anyway hope the idiots don't come back. Otherwise i'll be down to help you out.

Thanks for all the reply guys and gals....

The sage continues they came today at 4:30pm, however it was the wrong fitment.

They have fitted it as a temp measure and will then come down on saturday with the correct glass. It actual fits but the sliding down and up is slow as it is slightly too curved.

I have left the car locked up in my uncles drive for now.

I will be calling my insurance company and asking them what kinf of service they are running and to re-think who they out-source there window repairs to.

Il keep u posted.....

That the thing it didnt go off, am in the process of deciding what alarm to upgrade to was thinking the clifford 950, only thing is there is no paging function or add on, which I really want.

The ones that do paging are not as good as the clifford i have been told.

hay mate. i seriously sympathise. i woke up a few months ago to find someone had pours nitro moors over my zetec sport fiesta. cost 1K of damage. just goes to show what a skummy country we live in when they will smash you window for a few quid for their next fix.

hope you get it all sorted

chin up.

In a strange kind of way, I bet it's more annoying that they didn't take anything isn't it?

It's almost as though they broke the window for the fun of it

Its still puzzling me, nothing to steal apart form the car itself, bonnet was part open, you know when you dont shut it right.

Also they didnt even take my s2000 aerial

Only thing I can think of is the black VW badge.



Gonna upgrade the alarm, they did the same thing to my old mk4.

better then waking up to find this though mate





everything taken from the car, including air freshener, tax disk, sons car seat, alloys, floor mats, steering wheel, gear knob... well the list is pretty much endless, my stupid fault for advertising what I had in the boot across the back window really I guess but you never expect anything like that to happen! cant park outside your own house these days without worrying if your cars safe or not. takes the p***, still not seen anything which was taken that night and dont think i ever will
