Well yesterday I went to get a load of granite rocks for my mom at a local nursery. All was good, the truck took the weight just fine, the guy loaded it perfect as he know I took care of my truck.

Got home, and noticed my whole rear glass just spider shattered to ****. I was kinda choked. I gave the manager a call at the nursery and I told him what happened, just to inform him, and that I was shoked because he loaded it with such care. He was very surprised too, and was actually proud of himself with the job he did of loading me up. I told him I would have to pay a $200 deducatble to get it fixed under my insurance, he said he would split the cost, and I was pretty happy, but then by the end of the call he said he would foot the whole bill..

 

holy snap! was the granite touching the window?

 

Nope, all I can think of (since the window blew out) is that maybe he hit the window with a couple rocks and weakened/cracked a small part of the glass.. then when I got home and rolled my window up and closed the door, the pressure in the cab was enough to blow it out

 

i think it looks cool, i would leave it. haha

 

you woulda heard it. if its ont safty glass or has tint on it... you woulda heard it...espacially this much. had that happen to my slider not to long ago...but it was my fault and got a tinted replacement for 10 bucks.

 

200 deductible? get a new one at the junkyard for 100

 

I saw those pics on FB...was wondering what happened...thats just weird. At least the place is being really cool about it

 

dont forget the cost of a new billabong sticker

 

Dang chris that sucks Iv always liked your truck.

 

Doesn't MPI not require a deductible on glass? I know if I get a rock chip, or a crack in my windshield I don't have to pay anything.

 

lol

 

sick left brah ****s hella gnar, where you from where from locals only

 

I get free windshield/glass repairs/replacements as part of my full coverage. You insurance Co. sucks. If you thought he did such a good job then why call them and tell them that you think they might have messed up the window? I would just suck it up. Risks come with hauling stuff.

 

hey chris, go to a yard and pull one, i have gotten JY to sell em for 35-40 bucks

 

lol, so now that this happened you don't like it anymore.. haha :P

 

As for my insurance coverage, it's different in Manitoba, I don't pay anything other than my registration for my vehicle which includes the insurance. I get free glass coverage for small cracks and chips, but not replacement. As for getting a new window from the JY.. even if it is $100 or less.. I still have to go through the hassle of removing this one, and finding someone to install the new window.

And as for "risk of hauling".. I completely understand that. I was not calling the guy to get anything out of him, I was just letting him know what happened, and he offered to cover it for me.

 

I forgot you're in Canada and insurance is different there. We don't have anything like that here in Arizona. No pics of the load??

 

I don't have pics of the load in the truck.. but I had a load of granite rocks up to about 2-3" below the lip of the bed rails.. here you can see the before and after suspension sagging

Damn man that sucks but he atleast he is gonna pay for it... Normally they say sorry about your luck

 

It's cause you have 11" of lift....

 

Not squatting too much for a heavy load (and 11" of lift, lol/ j/k)

 

yea im surprised they are doing anything about it. since it didnt break while they were loading it.

 

trucks sexy man

 

that was wicked nice of the guy to foot the bill, definitely a place that would get my business again just because of that imo.

 

Hahaha.. ya these skyjacker springs have impressed me with how they handle loads..
