You're in the middle of nowhere, cell phone and keys are locked inside.
Whats the cheapest option, smash windscreen or door windows to gain access?

Rear quarter window seems the smallest (=cheapest). Or hope u got a non-excess broken windscreen cover and smash that... driving without it would suck tho heheh

i think its a hypothetical situation, like say you are driving on a long trip, and stop for a pee on the side of the rd and accidentally lock yourself out with your phone inside the car. theres noone around to help you so your only option is to break a window to get in.
I have no idea which would be cheaper, but i know the rear quarter window is a whole unit, you cant just replace th glass i dont think. i would go for the passenegers front window, that way u wont get glass on the drivers seat....

Rear quarters are the smallest, but they are also the most expensive. I had a friends think that because it was the smallest it was the cheapest and broke that to get in to his car (Not a Soarer though) and it was the most expensive bit of glass on the car. I would say Windscreen. Easiest to replace, and possibly the cheapest. Breaking a window will mean you need to get it re-tinted when it is replaced, if you have tinting, so that is more money as well.

I thought the windscreen would be the cheapest option, not sure of the implications that would crop up though, like driving, broken glass every where.
You'd have to be unlucky to lock yourself out like exiting via the passenger door and turning the switch to lock as you got out.
The other way is as mentioned previously via a dodgy car alarm system, or having a pet in there that knocks the door lock switch.
I thought a door window would be less easiest and costliest to replace.
Best to leave it to the insurance cover and break the windscreen.

If you do break the windscreen, wind the side windows down and drive slowly to prevent the air pressure popping the back window out. :-)
