Well I'm up late, someone decided to break out my rear windshield...

[p3u]

Apparently over 30 cars had the rear windshields broken out in my neighborhood, unbelievable. Some kids driving around deciding it would be a fun thing to do I'm guessing.

Anyways, I'm trying to figure out which rear windshield I need, as there are a few different parts available.

Does anyone happen to know the part number for it? Also is it different for winter package vs non winter package vehicles?

I already got a quote from a glass company, however they seemed unsure on which glass it needs. Was told $385 installed.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Man. Sorry to hear that. I can't understand how today's society is ok with the behavior characteristics of children and youth. When I was growing up the worst I ever did was TP a house. And when I was out of line I ate soap. Dial tended to be the worst. I have no clue what the part number is. I guess I would have thought the rear window was the same for all C5's. Let us know.

Well,

We drove a 68 Ford panel van over a double dip in the road to try and get airborne.

We got airborne alright.

Oh shit, those pics below look worse then I thought. Sorry about the situation Pu. If it helps, I can look up the glass on the ETKA later today. Goin to hit some little white balls.

Bastids! Calling Karma- go kick arse and dump a truckload on those window smashers.

Hmmm, same here except it was a 73 Pontiac station wagon.

P3 - that really sucks - make sure to get a good shop to re install so there no leaks

Here are a few pics I snapped.

Again, if anyone knows if the RS6 uses the standard glass from an A6 for the rear, of the insulated glass or part number I would appreciate it. Thanks

Get the glass directly from the dealer then have it installed by the best glass guy you can find. NAGS glass will be more expensive than oem if you can even find it. On a side note, I just R&I'd a back glass in an A6 last week, and it's not a job for the unskilled. There are 6 connections for the rear defrost, all located under the interior trim. You have to remove all the sail panel trim starting at the windshield all the way back to the package tray. All of the grab handles have to be removed as well as the package tray itself. Care has to be taken when removing the sail panel trim as there are tethers that retain the trim in the event of a side curtain bag deployment, and as you can imagine they have to be reinstalled correctly. Oh, the rear seat lower and side cushions have to come out as well.

OMG. Despite the repercussions, I think I'd seriously hurt those people if I caught them.

Sorry to hear this happened, p3u. I blame the parents. I would F them up if I caught them. OK, ETKA has 7 rear windows listed!! Here's the pics with descriptions (2 pics)



Hope this helps.

[vangelis]

Oh god, sorry p3u to hear that. That is really bad.

[eurotunedrs6]

Sorry to hear about your car. I don't know how kids can think that is fun. I couldn't imagine what I would do to them if I caught them in the act......what goes around comes around so some way or another they will get what's coming to them

If you could look up and confirm the part number I'd appreciate it.

Since your in town, if you had this happen to you, who would you use?

I looked up the part numbers, only the one ending in G was recognized on genuinevwaudiparts.

Anyway to match up the PN for the car?

Man, sorry to hear that. Truly sux!
If you haven't already done so, I'd file a police report. Sounds like these hooligans will be caught eventual, at this rate. It may hasten the process, and maybe you could even recoup some of the losses?
Some shitbirds took a bb gun to my truck windshield in TX (and many others in the neighborhood), and they were caught a few weeks later. I think the parents had to pay for damages.
Anyway, hope you get that PN, and good luck with the install.

Since you're probably going to have your insurance pick up the tab I would take it to the dealership. If you really have to remove everything that V8Weight said you do then I wouldn't want anyone who wasn't trained on the car doing it. I like Phil Long's service department for the most part.

That bites. If you haven't already, get a police report. So if the d*ckheads get caught, your car will be on the list of damaged vehicles making their rap sheet a little longer.

They're all listed as 2003 RS 6 US sedan. Not sure of how to match to car.
