My parking lot is all closed in except for one side and it is all open. I look and don't see anyone at all down the street. So i've come to the conclusion that unless the invisible man broke the window, it wasn't done by a person. And to add insult to injury, when the glass fell out, it made a couple scratches down the side of the car. It was about 90 degrees today. You think the heat could of blow it out? I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow, it was sounding like they didn't want to do a warranty claim on it.....
He said the alarm went off. There's the answer. Someone was trying to get in your car. I had my old car broken into that way. Sorry for your lost bud.

The alarm could have gone off by the window falling out and hitting the side of the car. But I'm just going to go with someone tried to break in and leave it at that.

As for the scratches, I think I can buff out most of it, and I'll see how bad the deeper scratches look once I'm done and take it from there. I know I'm not going to pay to have it re-painted, I'm sure I'll be able to live with it, or I'll have to learn to live with it. At least for now...

I think I might have to give that a try. Where did you get the touch up paint from? Parts dept?
