Lightning Member 335 Member For: 22y 3m 15d Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 13/08/04 09:52 AM Share Posted 13/08/04 09:52 AM Coming home tonight, there was a window washer guy at an intersection. Seen him there often, not many people get him to clean their windows. I called hiom over and gave him $2 for at least making an effort. He said "Thanks mate, will do your windows anyway". I let him. Big mistake.I now have an arc of a scratch going from the bottom left of the windscreen, up to the top. At first I thought it was from sand under a wiper, but it doesn't match a wiper arc. It does, however, match an arm arc from the right of the car, which is where he was.B L * * D Y H E L L, what have I done to deserve this???? How do I get it fixed? Is it doable? Or do I need a replacement windscreen? ARGH!!! It's a fine scratch, not deep, but I can't live with it there.Now, it may not have been him, but I think I would have noticed before now and the scenario fits. Makes me want to go back and ram his windscreen scraper up his....Lightning....

I had no wallet and no coins on me at the time... was really embarresing.....

Will take their advice as to whether I get it fixed now or get it done when the car's returned to 'as new'.Lightning....

Zeke zeke Member 792 Member For: 21y 10m 10d Location: Adelaide Posted 13/08/04 11:08 AM Share Posted 13/08/04 11:08 AM Hey Lightning, I didn't realise you're still driving your car around. That makes your dilemma in the other thread easy. Just shop around until you get a crash repairer you're happy with who can let you have a loan car while yours is being fixed. Might have to wait a week or two, but, if the car can be driven in the meantime. what's the big deal?

However, my biggest problem is time and pride. I simply don't have the time to run a round and panel shop (haha). As for pride, it makes me cry every time I go out to the car port. Sometimes I think I should reverse in, so that I don't see the damage...Anyway, I figured I'd just suffer and sponge off friends. A cute work collegue leaves nearby, so... Oh, it's also starting to rust. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12326-it-doesnt-rain-it-pours/#findComment-154387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave me the sh*ts. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12326-it-doesnt-rain-it-pours/#findComment-154413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
