It shattered. And I did not notice until I went to re open it.
Balls.
The only saving grace was that years ago, for heat blockage, I taped the interior of the window with FlexFix aluminum tape so while completely shattered, it is still mostly together.
With a little help of a Shopvac to get some shards by the edges, and more flexfix on the exterior glass, I still have a sliding window, just no lock, and not really wind or watertight, as if it ever was. I'm probably gonna just gonna paint the tape black while I think up a tolerable solution. I'd rather not replace the whole window. I'm thinking of getting some smoked plexiglass and perhaps cutting out a portion of track to be able to insert it. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 3,772 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 3,772 | Put lights back in and untaped windows, cleaned overspray.

I replaced an entire window (hard to find since company got bought), but I have a sliding glass piece from another window and can always get glass pieces for really cheap. Just letting you know incase, I too get a little too quick of the draw with closing them windows, I never broke a window that way. Only two windows and two ways, one is playing golf and the other I slammed the passenger door to hard and the glass just shattered. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | 68 there is a place in spring valley that has your window... http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/pts/3142775030.htmlalso try A & B on commercial st in San Diego...

But anyway, for now I'm just counting down the days until I go back to Florida. I have a bus load of work to do. Replace Filler Tube Replace Torque Converter Replace Door Lock Mech Re-glue rear view mirror Replace rear suspension (leaf springs, bushings, bolt, plates, etc...)
Rebuild Entire A/C system, involves flushing and replacing of expansion valves, filter drier, o-rings, seals, fasteners, rebuilding of compressor, salvaging of piping (all rusted so I have to remove rust in and out and paint after clean), so on so forth)
I also have to take the seats out and clean all the dog hair and throw up spot or spots up off the carpet, clean everything. Clean and wax outside of van.
I may be purchasing a weight distribution, I am pissed because I wanted to buy a new tool but I don't want to wear my suspension premature with towing that heavy trailer I talk about. Always something and never enough time or money... Life...
All this the above is just for my van...
Then I have another vehicle, my mothers car I have to fix. Needs new wheel studs and wheel nuts Hyundai Elantra so pain with the hubs. Needs who knows what else.
Then a customers dodge van. Needs transmission overhaul so I'm going to be busy with that.
Busy busy busy I tell ya.

When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?
