I got my 914 out of the paint shop on Saturday morning, and spent the weekend replacing all the pieces parts. My window was badly pitted and hard to see through in night driving. I know the window had been removed about five years ago when some major work was done, but Rufino confirmed that the old windshield had been replaced.
Car with windshield removed. Rufino cleaning all the channels and making sure the clips for the trim are solid. The channel all gets cleaned and primed with rust resistant primer. Installing the butyl tape. More butyl tape. And another of the tape installation. Rufino found a missing trim clip, so he reams out the attachment hole, and installs a new clip. Finally, the new windshield. |

Ruffino just did my windshield and rear glass two weeks ago. He was apprehensive about making the drive from OC to Santa Clarita, so I threw in some extra $$ for gas/time. Visibly struggled with the rubber trim (I opted not to use the chrome). Two days later, the drivers side started lifting; he came out immediately to resolve the issue. Problem was the trim supplier switched the product on him (same p/n). R&R'd the windshield with known correct trim. Now it's perfect. A genuinely nice guy.
