anyone know of a cheap insurance company? im 23 will be 24 in nov.. last ticket was in 04 or 05.. right now i have allstate.. but i may need to change..

anyone know if i can switch out the back window from plastic to glass? and if so how much?

also are there any recalls that i should be aware of? or any service bulletins that i should have done?

thanks for all the help in advance and hope to meet some of you in the future.

 

I have an 01 no recalls or bullitens Ive gotten mixed info on being able to just replace the plastic rear window with glass . Top will likely have to be replaced too . congrats with the purchased . Get locks for the seats and a good alarm . Keep oil in the trunk and check the level religiously

 

WHAT KIND OF SEAT LOCKS YOU RECOMMEND? AND WHAT KIND OF ALARM IS BEST?

 

Welcome to the boards and congrats on the new purchase..

John made a good point with oil in the trunk. Of course if u dont drive much, its not really needed because you can just go pick up a quart at ur local auto parts store. (I like to keep my trunk as empty as possibly)

As far as the window-you will have to replace the whole top. If you are worried about the plastic window fogging up or scratching which is common and want to change out to a NEWER plastic window'd top, i recommend Robbins. It is cheaper to buy a plastic window'd top, but id shell out some extra dough and go for a glass window if i were you. You can find the tops at a variety of different websites, but one off the top of my mind is; http://www.robbinsautotopco.com/

Hope this answers most of ur worries/concerns.

Also, another thing you may experience if you convert to a glass top is blindspots.

If and when you do convert to a new glasstop just remember that the glass rear has a smaller view through it as opposed to a plastic rear window which has a lot more of a view through the rear.

Another thing id recommend is blue convex mirrors for your side views. This will help eliminate some/ALMOST all of your blind spots with just a quick look on either end of your side view mirrors....


Good luck.

 

so does anybody know how much it costs to replace the back window with a new plastic window? also im located in so cal.. 30 minutes from los angeles

 

 

where do u get seat locks? any websites?

 

Congrats.
