Default Window smashed need glass man

Hey guys came out to my baby this morning and find the rear class on the vert blown out and a tear in the top.

Now I need someone with vert expreance for new glass and possible top in O'hare airport area
Does anyone know of a good shop does work on vettes

Thanks

Rob

Check with your insurer, whether you turn in a claim or not, they may be able to refer you to quality glass person in your area. With the top torn as well, sounds like you would want to go with replacing the top all together. Call your insurance company.....good place to start. Good luck

This might be a little much as they are a showroom mainly from what I can tell, but they do body work also, it would be worth a call at minimum and maybe they know someone better...

You don't need a glass man, you need a convertible top man. The galss cannot be replaced, you need a new top. Sorry!

Can't help you on the shop to fix the damage, but can say sorry that someone would do something like this.
