If it takes a couple of weeks to order in the new windows and get them fitted, the owner could argue that they incurred substantial losses cancelling all the rentals for the forthcoming few weeks (and probably getting a lot of 1 star reviews, that harm the business for months to come).

That'd be a hard sell. One, you'd need to show reservations for that whole time, and two, "loss of use" on Turo ("share your car when you're not using it") is a whole lot different to loss of use for Hertz, when the car's "full time job" is earning income.

(Especially since on my Audi RS 5 with OEM glass, HUD, and rear "hatch" on a sportback, the replacement cost would be $3,800.)
