Subject:Re: Westie glass repair near Berkeley?

I recommend a trip to Pick n Pull or similar.  The same thing happened
to me last month and I picked up a wing window off an 84 for $10 and
installed it myself.  I had to spend $3 on a star key to replace the
window.  Try to buy a window with the latch already installed.  YMMV.
