The glass from the rear quarters did come out, it was just the screens that didn't
TBH they said they were going to take it all out but didn't in the end???

Managed to get it home to investigate and finally located the problem

Aaaaaaagh, disaster
This happened tonight at the bottom of my street

We had a torrential downpour and the storm drain must have burst which ruptured the surface, I drove over what I thought was just water pouring out of a crack in the surface but this is what was underneath
