autox damage!

[bren]

Ok, it didn't really happen at the autox, but on the way home I took a rock to the windshield :evil: :cry:

It made a chip about the size of a BB...it's that blurry speck just above the wiper arm (it is very difficult to take a picture of a windshield.)

Eh.

Sorry to hear about that... I'm trying to work up the motivation to replace my windshield, after three rock impacts. :(

Kind of ironic given our discussion regarding my detailing habits. At least it didn't hit the paint :|

I'm on my third windshield. I've had plywood and tire debris hit me but, ironically, never a rock.

I usually avoid the highway as much as possible just for this reason...well that and it is far more fun to take back roads everywhere :smile:

Where did you have the glass replaced? Have you had any problems with leaking or damage to your headliner or trim?

I used an independent glass shop, recommended by the dealer and some of the better body shops. I haven't had any problems whatsoever. The guy told me to always have the seals replaced, he said reusing seals was the main cause of leaks.

I have three chunks about that size. None of them are on the driver's side, so I'm kinda ignoring them for now. :oops:
