      Absolutely!!!! That’s how we got into this mess of walking my video. This may be a good way to track broken window crime stats, count how many views this video has.

      Car alarms only go off if they open the door, not windows. I've had all my windows broken at some point and the alarm never went off.

    So like one of the back windows caught a small rock and it looks all shattered but still 95% there should I tape over the glass or push all the glass out ?

    • @YeahBuddy
      @YeahBuddy  Місяць тому

      Ufff good question!!! If it were me, I’d probably ride it out as long as I could. But its structural integrity is compromised and could lead to a bigger issue the next time a rock hits it.

    • @YeahBuddy
      @YeahBuddy  Рік тому +1

      I placed the tape so that the door would function normally. Some cars may have a frameless window, making a tape job a challenge. On my van, that wasn’t the case. You’ll want to tape around the frame, but not tape the body of the vehicle, if possible. That way, the door will still open. Let me know if that helps.
