However the OP resolves this we will all learn from it.

If the guy who did it is willing to pay for a replacement, why bother committing insurance fraud?I would take it to the dealer and claim it under comprehensive insurance coverage as vandalism and get a new one. all the heat and chemicals will likely ruin it. Your "buddy" is an idiot.
Technically it was vandalism.If the guy who did it is willing to pay for a replacement, why bother committing insurance fraud?
Sure, and technically OP should call the cops on his "buddy".Technically it was vandalism.
Destroy might be a bit of a strong word in this case... It was a bad joke that the OP's friend likely assumed was temporary (and would have been if Ford hadn't cheaped out on those garbage plastic windows) but the window panel isn't destroyed.I wouldn’t get pissed, just ”Sorry man, I just ordered a new window. Here’s the bill thanks.”. Of course, $5 says he will be the one pissed. But, you don’t destroy someone properly. If he doesn't like it. I would just ask him where he wants the $1000 worth of damage on his vehicle? A little shaving cream in the hot sun should do it next summer. You could write a funny statement with it.
OP would have to read his policy binder to read the definition of "vandalism" per his coverage, but vandalism is vandalism whether or not you know the party that damaged your vehicle. what makes you think it's insurance fraud?If the guy who did it is willing to pay for a replacement, why bother committing insurance fraud?
The windows are top quality. But even a moron knows stickers on soft windows are permanent.Destroy might be a bit of a strong word in this case...
