Mr. Carb Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 So I went up to the house I have my Subaru XT stored at to check on it. A sight I did not want to see. Do you guys think it will buff right out? Here's the pics. And yep, thats a blown out rear window. Side windows are all intact, so are all of the pillars. Roof has a large dent in it. Rear window was blown out by a kinked poll going through it. Front windsheild is also heavily fractured and needs replacement. This is turning into a very expencive car.

Just for your information, there was an XT6 at the Olympic Pick a Part yard three weeks ago; it might still be there if you want to pull the glass. If you're going down on a reasonable weekend, let me know since I want to pull some parts off it. Sorry about the damage; that's just ugly.

Mr. Carb Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah, I wonder how hard it would be to install the glass my self, or have a professional install it for me... It's probably going to need a new interior now too due to the weather damage it's received and a lot of pounding the roof straight again.

kingbobdole Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Sad Panda! The interior could be fine... One of my friends used to have a Volvo 240GT with no back window... even drove it in the winter, and had ice in the back shelf! He got a window in it and it seemed fine.

Mr. Carb Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well, up in the soggy West slope Casecade mountain foot hills it only takes a week or two of being exposed to the elements for everything to grow mold. Maybe I can clean it up real nice and good with a steam vac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 that is sad. bad luck. hope you can get glass on the cheaps. note to self, do not store car under a temp tent. make sure you store it under something better if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hit up Lynwood PAP, they may still have an XT6 there with all glass intact. That was a few weeks ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 good try on keeping it safe, though. I wish all XT owners cared like you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think the XT in Smokey Point is gone now so don't bother going there, ferrels junk yard in Mt. Vernon has 3 or so XT's in it too just as a super duper back up plan. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Carb Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well I have a sigh of relief today. I went up to Gold Bar, despite the floods, made it in decent time too, from Everett it only took about an hour. All of the heavy warm rain has melted a lot of snow, but in spots almost a foot still remains, however the collapsed car shed is snow free, I was able to lift up the tarp and look at the damage done to my poor XT. Much better than I expected. Front windshield is cracked from one of the polls landing on it. The rear window was blown out due to the same. A third poll landed on the roof of the car, only producing a small dent, it didn't even bend the window frame despite how close to the rear window it landed. It'll buff right out. Time to take a zzz to the remains of the carport's metal frame trapping the XT. Sorry, to much fun with the little graphics. Probably later this spring or summer I will be looking to get both front and rear windows replaced. I still have to get the beast running again!
