Help on replacing a window

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   New user here, but a friend of mine pointed me this way. 

Just the other day a worthless you know what decided to 

bust my driver's side window and steal my $30 CD player 

sometime in the night, and leave me pretty fuming the 

next day when a neighbor came to tell me that my window 

was busted. Not only was my window broken, but there's a 

big gash on the paneling right next to the door by the 

driver's side head rest, my center console has a large 

crack in it from probably a crowbar, and my power window 

motor looks like it has collapsed. My question is how 

would a d.i.y. guy go about finding the easiest/cheapest 

solution to replace and fix these parts because, to my 

knowledge, Houston is pretty dry when it comes to Fieros.

Here's a link to the carnage in my car showing the 

damages: http://imgur.com/a/faWgQ

And here's how the car is normally, all nice and 

unvandalized :(  http://imgur.com/hTPYsmS

	Yeah, I remember looking at the tutorial to change the sail panels, nope'd on that one after a while. And If I trusted the postal system I would buy yours off of you if possible lol, but yeah so far local junkyards are pulling up zilch, just a bunch of beat up Toyotas.
