Trunk Lid Garage Mishap! Don't Be Next!!

[DSAviate]

Happy Monday Morning XOutposters!!

I'll share in my grief to remind you all of the consequences of this oft thought about mistake.

Got too distracted yesterday morning and backed out of garage with trunk lid up. The wiper base grabbed the garage header and the rear window exploded as designed. Some folks like to beat-up on BMW/X5 quality . . . but after being humiliated at my blunder, I was impressed to notice NO DAMAGE to the lid or hinges. And the wiper motor beefy plastic mounts broke away from their attachments WITHOUT bending any portion of the lid.

So, I figured I got off with just a busted window and wiper assembly, right? Not so fast . . . I can't find any reference for the rear window as a separate part, new or used. Looks like might have to replace the whole lid.

Couple questions for your expertise:

1. Has anyone seen a trunk lid window sold separately?

2. Anyone have a lead to a rust free used trunk lid in titanium silver?

I've had nightmares about this, but can't believe I actually did it!! I hope a good look at my photo will provide viewers with many years of deterrence.
