Default Broke something today :cry

I'm in the middle of moving to another shop. While cleaning off the shelf over my tool boxs I had to move one of tool box. as I moved it I heard a crash behind me. It was one of my glass t-tops. I don't even know witch one it is yet. So now I have one glass t-top for sale. If anyone is interested PM me. It's the mirror finish style.

If you need to borrow one (if it will fit your car) I could loan you one from Lisas' '82 until you replace yours.

PM me Steve if you wish.

I feel your pain, I hate breaking things due to my own stupidity, usually in a hurry

When my Mercedes was new I think 2 days old I was washing it and was cleaning the engine compartment and set a glass of iced tea on the top of the engine. Well I slammed the hood closed with the tea still on top of the engine. $500 worth of damage to the hood. What a dumbas*

when I had a 65 way back when,I was at a friend's house.we had the grill out of the car,I put it behind the rear tires so it would be safe(not stepped on).well it never got stepped on but I sure did a number on it when I backed over it with the car as I was leaving.I still think about that today,what a dum-azz.

Glass is covered by your insurance, in FL there's no deductible for glass replacement .... not sure if they want to know how it happened... I wouldn't lie about it but maybe they don't even ask how it broke

Don't ditch the good one yet!!!! Left and right side only tops are always showing up on eBay. Benefit from someone else's mistake and buy one there for $2-$400. Sorry to hear about the mistake!

it hurts just thinking about it, because we've all done something like that. don't give up i saw at least two sets last summer for sale cheap because one was damaged, find out which one you need and let everyone know, you'll find one. good luck.
