Looks like they broke/kicked the glass and climbed thru the window.

I'm getting the glass tomorrow from the dealer where I purchased the car for $265. Cleaning up the broken glass and installing the new one will be tomorrows task.

The broken/damaged plastic parts I will get from Ebay.

This was purely amateur hour, they tried to pry the plastic from around the radio.

The starter button was separated found the parts and put it back together hit the button and she came to life!!!!

I have a tilt module installed I guess I need to cover more bases of protection.

So you're going to put her back together yourself? Why not insurance?

Or buying the parts from eBay and giving to the autoshop to pocket more from insurance?

The price parts will be lower than my deductible. I've done the door glass twice on my G35c so that's not going to be a big deal.

The plastic trim that I do need I'll pick on Ebay.

I like to do my own repairs when possible so I know its done correctly. I've had work at the Infiniti dealership when I had my G35c that was unacceptable.

I've finally gotten her put back together.

Thanks forum member OldFart for providing some much needed donor interior parts!!!





As you can see from the photos I recessed my radio and purchased a dummy cheapo radio face online. I was going the tear up my stock radio to make a dummy face, but I did a search and amazingly found out that they sell dummy radio faces. It cost less than $15 shipped from China. I had to modify the radio cage in order to slide the radio back to accommodate the false face.

I need to tidy it up when I have some time and it cools off outside, but it serves the purpose for now.

Largo/Upper Marlboro area.
Police said there has been an increase in car break-ins and stolen wheels.
