of getting it fixed at a glass repair place like Smith & Smith on Thursday!Do they get ordered in based on model of the car or do they have the galss which they can cut to size!Its a Mitsubishi Galant 1993 and insured.Sons first car, had it 3 weeks, some F-wit went down the street and broke about four windows on cars last night.Need it fixed by the weekend as they had New Years roadtrip to Queenstown planned and he has worked too hard to get car, pay for trip etc to miss out now thru no fault of his.

They more than likely get replacement window from a wrecker,that's what happened with ours when it got broken into, ours was a older car as well.

Good grief, it's insured, they WILL organize to get it fixed ASAP accordingly, to the reason for urgency & availability.
If you can arrange a quicker repair, TALK to your insurance company FIRST, otherwise you won't be covered for any muck ups in the repair/replace etc

mrfixit the op is in dunners though. Agree with you in principle BUT If I was the OP's son I'd be heading up to ChCH -ie bigger population center to ensure getting the job done
