Chevy cars like the Malibu likes to go CLICK once the doors close. Always had to adjust the computer to stop that behavior. Yeesh. More than once the yard truck would get out the kit and break back into them without breaking anything usually by inflating a bag and getting a correct tool down where it counts.
The older Freightliners of a certain model year would be easy to get back into with a fist applied a certain spot. The engineers solved that little issue.
I would not worry about a busted window. Ive done far more damage in dollar value than that window in my time. Tell a good story and leave it up to someone to hire you on after they stop laughing.
Locked out truck. Broke window. Charged with accident. Hurts in long run?

No offense to anyone but I've been around the trucking industry long enough to know that it requires a certain amount of critical thinking, logic and problem solving skills. I had a wiper come loose on my pickup last winter. I'm sure if I turned on my wipers, I'd have lost it. Pulled over in a safe spot, took a roll of electrical tape and taped it to the arm. 5 minutes and I was back on the road. Stopped at the first auto parts store I came to and changed both wipers. Total time lost was about 15 minutes.Eldiablo, dunchues, win-some-loose-less and 1 other person Thank this.

I didn't have a wiper brake off but they all of a sudden quit it was dark and misting out but I kept going till I found a a safe place to park and waited till the misting stopped.Called my boss a couple hrs later after he got his precious beauty sleep.I needed a new wiper motor but I waited till I got back to his shop a week later.I looked at the weather radar and no chance of rain so it wasn't bad just that misty morning.It was sloppy for a few hrs had to stop to clean the windows.Other then that I managed.
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
You don't park on Interstates anymore if you can help it. People DIE under your decap bar.
I don't know what to do with wipers on a big truck, such a flap over all that. In my day we had air driven wipers that you pounded loose now and then.
Im trying really hard to behave. It's difficult when excessive time and effort is put into a 20 dollar part that can be changed in 5 minutes.Darkn16ht Thanks this.
