Does anybody have any recommendations?
Several of the clips popped out while installing the trim. While attempting to remove the glass the windshield cracked. In fact it splintered which makes me wonder how safe this glass is to drive with. Although the glass is centered, I don't think I'm getting it seated correctly. Using 5/16" butyl tape. This is my second windshield install. The first one cracked after about 3 years (no impact, just cracked). Obviously I'm doing it wrong despite watching repeated videos. Is there a shop in the San Diego area that does 914 glass installs? Thanks. |
