quick tip for ppl wanting todo windscreens.....
when guy did mind... you kick out old....
place seal around new, wrap a long rope all the way around the seal
Then place window/windscreen in place from outside...
Start to pull one end of the rope from inside of the car and this will pull the seal in at the same time along with the window in place.
Make sure you "test and think" b4 trying the whole window... ne fk up and you will need to "Remove".... no so easy without damage.
But one you have pulled the rope in from all the way around it should be 99% done... just need to check for any "gaps" and place them in proberly with a flat blade screwdrive.... then check outside and give seals a good push.
Hope this helps for anyone wanting to try "fullsize" window in future...
those only cost me $170 for him todo it.. full cost....
$169 man i had my drivers side back windows smashed when they broke into my calais cost $180 i think and that was them getting a 2nd hand window but then compared to same side window on my missus magan for $240 i guess i was pleased i own a VL
but yer they busted my calais central locking both doors must have snapped the plastic bits and not opened the doors then the broke the window got in i just had the car for 2 weeks i only had a Autometer Boost gauge no deck or anything else they pulled my dash apart like they wanted dash pieces or somthing and then turned my lights on and poped my bonnet this was at Villawood bunnings warehouse i came out to a flat bettery 2 doors open lights on dim as and a busted windows and pulled apart dash.
they were carefull with the dash which makes me think thats what they wanted and poping the bonnet and lighst on didnt dawn on me 1st but probley seening if my calais pop ups were real and then wanted to take them hence the bonnet being up.
man the theifs have got some balls i tell ya... i like the bed of nails idea mate tell me your thoughts but wouldnt be to good on leather lol
im just happy i took my ECU out they didnt look like the attepmted to hot wire it but still at least i still got her as some people arent as lucky to keep there car my thoughts go out to them..a moment of silence for the fallen.............................

I love stories like that!
Wow, I didn't think this thread was still going. I laughed my ass off reading that article, Im glad they got what was coming. But no, my guy was in custody when it happened.
Good to hear more of em are getting caught tho.
I haven't had any updates on the situation since I went into fitzroy to give a statement (even the cop shop is seedy in fitzroy).
There was apparently a reparation order, meaning he is required to pay me the money for the GPS, however it is highly unlikely that I will ever see a cent.
At the time I was going to go along to the court appearance to make sure he got what was coming but truth is I don't really care anymore.
...Suffice to say I hope his new cell mate looked just like Michael Clark Duncan (think the Green Mile), only meaner while he was remanded.
And while he's in custody he has a painful heroin detox to look forward to.
Thanks again for all your support guys.
