    Pay them back stealth mode,i feel for you and in this day and age find a shed even if a storage shed.If you can park it there when no one is about,if they try steal it from there they wont know what shed to hit.Good luck,Cheers Peter

    Pretty sure they only came in a 2+2.

    definitely also available in 2+0, though not as common. Spare is definitely to suit 2+2, bought it with a broken partner shade.

    Flying back to Brisbane on Thursday, but out to Thailand early Friday morning. Have a pretty good idea where my spare sets of shades are... will have confirmation then.

    That's a damn shame Adam. Might be vandalism rather than a theft attempt. Like yourself, my Zed used to be parked on the street and got egged a couple of times. This is why we can't have nice things. Can't park it on the property or beg someone in the house to give up a garage spot?

    Seems to be vandalism more than theft.

    Why break two windows then leave the ray bans?

    Damn shame....don't suppose they left what they broke the windows with (fingerprints)

    Don't suppose there's any CCTV's near by either?

    Z vandals - I cannot think of anything worse!

    My sympathies.........

    Sorry to hear Adam, but your glass should be covered under insurance, if not look around for a new insurer and tell the a-holes why your leaving them.

    But as for glass try this guy i know he's in Sth Aus but if no one in Melbourne can''t help then meh it might just save a few bucks

    If the car's been egged recently & now windows smashed but nothing taken, sounds like someone's sick with jealousy. Especially if no other cars copped it same night. If it was a smash & grab, they wouldn't take nothing, they'd at least take the sunnies just to be annoying. Otherwise, how do you get on with your inlaws? Not getting personal but it's human nature, some blokes will not risk upsetting the daughter but they're not going to have hanky panky under their roof, married or not. Just sounds odd bud

    Was this in Altona??

    Was this out side your place in Altona?

    I hate this sort of shit. Are you able to get it under cover until the windows are repaired?

    Could be the guy who's house you parked out front of? Was this where you parked it when it was egged as well? Some people get pissed when people park out front their houses, forcing them to park out front someone elses. Absolutely no excuse for what was done, but possible explanation?

    Oh man....

    That pains me to see :( :(.... Bloody scum of the earth....

    Best thing for the door glass is to find a 2nd hand glass here in Aus. Too expensive to get new from overseas, and also very fragile.

    Thanks for all the support and comments and links guys, this is why I am so proud to be a member of the aus300zx forums you guys are all great.

    So during the day I have rang countless wreckers and looked at my options going forward and becuase I needed to pay for replacement glass anyways I decided to just source the windows myself and luckily for me I was able to get a used drivers side door glass for $150 from a jap wreckers in my area.

    After getting the glass I rushed and spent 4 hours pulling the door apart and removing all of the broken glass and then installed the new window into place.

    here are some photos

    What a mess:mad:

    All back together again:)

    The rear 1/4 window was not as easy to find as the drivers door glass was. I have had to tape up the window with packing tape for the time being while I look at sourcing new glass from Japan if I can. Otherwise Ill buy the used glass in the link scottyoz1962 has posted for me. (thanks mate).

    As for the circumstances about when why and how. I have felt that its possible the neighbors have targeted my car for parking in front of their house further down the street. as Shane001 has said, cant prove it but on some occasion my regular parking spot when the incident happened is taken by other people or family visiting my parents in laws. Still it doesn't really matter who did it, I just have to find a safer parking spot which I will try and do from now on.

    And this all happened in Mill Park, not in Altona dieseldave.

    Sucks big time mate. Probably best to not thinks to hard about who and why as it will drive you mad. Letter box drop a few neighbours to see if they have an empty shed they would be willing to rent out to you at a fair price. Remember to vac all the glass out as it has a habit of turning in to an annoying rattle.
    Cheers

    Just make sure you have learn't from this!

    Yep -- agree with finding a safe place top store it even if you have to rent a spot in a neighbours garage

    Stats would say it was an aggressive drunken few on their way home taking it out on a nice sports car (the evidence would support that)

    Regardless of motive:
    This means you need to do whatever you have to do, to find a secure home for your Z! It must be safe at night! :bash:

    You need to learn this, otherwise you will be more pissed after they take out the other side altia! :eek:

    You cannot leave this out again overnight - Its shame it's like this, even in Australia - but its a fact! ;)

    My sympathies ......damn saddening:(




    Kudos and very good work for being prompt at fixing it !:) :zlove:



    Hope you get a break.....and a safe place for your baby at night

    :agree:
    :zlove:

    Being a little selfish I was worried the area was changing, or we had some trouble makers.
    Sorry to hear again. But like it is said just fix it move on, as it is unlikely anything will happen to the culprits.
    If it is the house you park in front of I would consider one of two things. Knocking on their door and asking if they heard anything; they won't be able to control themselves if they have done it (and will probably tell you so).
    Secondly try a dash cam, and leave it on.
