I bought a key fob this way. Good Luck and Sorry 'bout the damage....I alsmost hate to suggest it, but......lawsuit? You should be able to drive into a parking garage and not expect to get damage, there are a few lawyers on this board, they will probably chime in.   Tommy Dougherty (Skydiver) Member Username: Skydiver Post Number: 162 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 10:33 pm:    Mark, I've got an apline left over from my old 97 DI which I wrecked. It's got some scratches on it, but it's yours free if you're willing to pay for shipping. I'd just like to get it out of my garage. I'm in the Richmond, VA area, btw. -Tommy   Mark (Kobeyman) New Member Username: Kobeyman Post Number: 10 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Monday, December 22, 2003 - 05:49 am:    hey tommy- this is for a D2, i'm not sure if the DI and D2's share the same alpine window?   Chris Browne (Chris_browne) Senior Member Username: Chris_browne Post Number: 498 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, December 22, 2003 - 08:23 am:    100% different. Glass is bonded in which makes it far less a DIY job than the D1   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Senior Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 379 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, December 22, 2003 - 12:15 pm:    Mark, you really should contact the parking garage. If their sign was wrong, you should be able to recoup costs. We've had several customers have this happen.
