Happened some time Wednesday night. Driver glass shattered, stuff from
the pod was pulled out and lying in the seat, including registration
card and garage door opener. However, as far as I can tell nothing was
taken from the car. There were 2 pairs of sunglasses, CDs, a plastic
cup full of quarters, a pretty nice stereo, flashlight, etc.

They also took the opportunity to open the garage door, as it was open
when we got up Thurs. morning. But again, it doesn't appear anything
was stolen.

If anyone has advice for replacing the door glass, I could use it.

Thanks,
John

Junkyard or Dealer. I would point more to Junkyard dealers don't carry stuff
that old BUT they may have one on the shelve collecting dust you have to
call them Good Luck...

Any auto glass shop can install a new door glass in your 93 mustang for you.
Unless you have the giant rivets and rivet gun required, I would stay away
from the do it yourself method...

I wound up getting the glass replaced today for $140 parts & labor. I
suppose that was money well spent. Especially since there's rain in
the forecast.

That happened to me in the 90's while I was fixing a machine for a customer
in Peoria, IL.
Allstate had the glass replaced onsite in about an hour and a half with no
cost to me.
Not even deductable because they said it was no fault of my own.
Might wanna check with your insurance company.

Ah, the hazards of carrying liability only. :-) It's hard to justify
carrying comp & collision on a car with a KBB wholesale value under
$800. In other words the tires represent more than half the value of
the car.
