If you wouldn't mind checking to see if they have one, that'd be great.
ChunkMonkey's checking on a source for me up in Denver & cofi is here. (Thanks guys!). If I can find one local, that would be best as I'd rather not drive to Denver without a window to get it replaced. I've never replaced a window before, but I've had them replaced (someone busted out my drivers side window on this same vehicle next to my home 15 months ago). I had Safelite replace that one and they did a shitty job. I remembered it only costing about $125, but my wife reminded me how much it actually cost (~$200).

I'll check the yard tomorrow to see if we have one
First of all, before I read anything else. Get on the phone to local import junk yards. You should be able to get the glass for $50-$60, and if they can't install it for another $40, they'll know who can. Shouldn't cost you much more than $100.

Yeah, that sucks.
If it helps I have 16 acres and a really good friend (who doesn't talk much) who owns an excavating company. And Bailey's closer than NE. Just sayin'.

If you get the glass I will replace it for you.

My Feedback + 50 lost during the site crash
It always happens to the least deserving of the population... I'll explain after addressing Jerry's post...
This is something I've always been confused by- in relation to Ginsue's issue my buddy had a '98 Honda Civic, parked in the lot behind Cervantes (25th & Welton- 5 Pts), POS car, you would think no one would look twice at it... one night- STOLEN!? My BMW, about 50x nicer (by my estimate- and cost about $13K more), been there several times and never once has it been touched. It could be that I have army plates, but I think the cesspool dwelling members of our *fine* society go after the easy prey- cars that don't have all that laser cut key, computer controlled, alarm system laden cars. It sucks these cretins roam our streets even.
Ginsue- If it ends up being more than your deductible, you can go ahead and file the claim, it's a comprehensive loss and therefore *Shouldn't* be a black mark on your record. Good luck!

Ray - like HoneyBadger said, nothing to mow anywhere near there (just crushed rock in the islands between rows).
Badger- I considered that as a possibility, but you could actually see where something slid something between the window & car body & along the same line was a crease in the shattered glass (there's no frame around the window on the door) with an impact point pushing out around the middle of the window. I think they were trying to get to my door lock which is forward & next to the door handle.
I figure if Safelite (one of the most expensive window replacement companies out there) charges below the deductible (which they do), it'll be totally on my dime. Plus, I've got 2 windshields needing replacement) - I don't need to risk cancellation due to filing too many claims.

Honda are some of the easiest cars steal. I grew up in a seedy area around some less than stellar people and I heard this all the time.
Here is an article to back it up:

Ginsue, you won't get canceled for filing a claim; but don't file a claim.
Ronin, how can you call yourself a car person and not understand why a '95 Civic would get stolen 59 times out of 60 times over your car?
ETA: It's not even that Hondas are easy to steal (which they are).
