When did yours go Chris?

The white Evo exploded mine an hour into the run. Really peed off as I thought I had the plastic one in. All the glass went inside, and I am still picking glass out of my feet as I had no shoes with me. The same happened to me on Stelvio.

The seats have to come out so that you can vacuum all the glass out, no way around that. Unfortunately I can not bend or kneel down to get the allen bolts out, so if you fancy coming around to do a joint job, that would be appreciated. I can lend you a spare window until you can get one of your own. You are covered under your cars window insurance, but you would have to pay the excess. As it is likely to happen again, then put a plastic one in.

I also have a problem with what would appear to be a bolt coming out of the S/C housing again, as the engine is idling at 5000rpm at the moment, so do not really want to drive it.

We waited for you at the T junction yesterday, and I then phoned you, but no answer. As there were at least five of you together and my problem had just started, we headed home. As the roads were clear, and as long as I was above 4000rpm, it was not a problem, so Craig and I had a good run home.

ps Just had a thought. Was the exploding window the reason you stopped?
