Dont break your rear window $$$$

So yesterday i went with a buddy of mine to cut some trees down at his uncles house. As he was throwing logs in the bed of my truck, one bounced off of another log into my rear window. I have the three section slider on my truck, it broke the left driver side section of the window. I shopped around a little bit and the lowest price they could get me is $459.00.... They cant just install the piece that broke, they have to install the whole rear window. Heres how it looks, the tint kept it from shattering:

That sucks Matt. If I ever broke my back window, I would put a solid back glass on. I can't reach the slider anyway, and that is how my truck got broke into years ago. Insurance???

Yeah i thought about that too but in the summer i let my dog hang out the slider. Now that may sound like a stupid reason to get the slider but.... I talked to insurance, and the window is cheaper then my deductable so its not worth it.

OK. Try to get it fixed soon. Because when I go to pick up the truck, the dog can hang his head out the window untill I drop him off at Mike's place. Then I can drop off the bike at Joe's place and you will have the Cats to keep you company.
