Speedy Auto Glass

When Lexi was just over a year old I locked her in the van in a parking lot. It’s a long story and I am told it happens to everyone so you can put down the phone to CFS. When it happened I panicked immediately and my first thoughts went to smashing the passenger side window like Bruce Willis in an action movie. The problem was I didn’t have the butt end of a hand gun and those windows are a lot more durable than they look.

Lexi wasn’t in her seat because we were planning on having a snack in the car before heading home. She ended up walking to the back of the van to pull everything out of the storage compartments. In doing so she dropped the keys on the floor in the back of the van. At that point I grabbed on to the rear vent window and popped it free from the motor bracket intending to crawl through it but instead managed to coax Lexi into passing me the keys.

The window hung there for over a year held closed with a bungee cord. I never used those windows anyway so it was no big deal as long as it wasn’t flapping around while driving. Eventually though the pull from the bungee cord pulled the glue from the hinges and the window just plain fell out! Of course this happened three hours away at the lake so I had to tape it up and drive it home like that (thanks for the GTape Mike).

When I got home I called my friend Miguel at Speedy Auto Glass 2140 McPhillips. He was able to order me a new window and install it the next day for under $100. He did this on his own time to save me some cash but I wanted to make sure I thanked him here and also plug his business. So if you have any auto glass needs please call Miguel at Speedy 204-694-2371. They are great people over there and they do great work!
