Lets Talk About Some Glass!

Glass in the US is about 220 ferns now, you get the same person unless you ask for a few days between to fix rust damage. You need to care for the rust properly and at least prime and seal the sourround or it will breed more rust.

Some guy comes pounding on my door at 7:30AM today, I figure its the feds or some **** and grab my equipment and a couple extra mags in case **** turns bad. Peak out the side and its a different glass van. WTF! No feds around and no strange cars so I put the extra mags down, and open the garage door while still keeping an eye on surroundings.

All good I met the new dude. He went over the program as I explained my disgust, he looked at the moldings and said they were complete trash... but we can install this handy dandy molding crap, I was almost irate then. This dude had like 4 different kinds of Universal moldings, said he would get crap ready as I finished the paint body work on the surround (I was told to call in when ready to schedule the replacement to be installed) I told him I wasn't ready but could hack it together in about half hour. I did altho paint was not set.

We chose a mid wide general molding and set the glass to check, he was very accomodating. It kind of sits on the roof panel and leaves a drain track too, I'm thinking this isn't too bad. He loads the urethane up in a 1 inch high level and says lets lay it in... we did.

All in all it's not that bad. I am pissed that they didnt do as promised but what is.. is.

It's like going to a Brothel and setting your money down and being handed some biker dude, you have to be specific which I was but here in the US that makes no difference. Before bashing to ultimatum, I will say the generic molding as of today is OK. How it will perform I will need a highway trip to see wind noise and leakakage. I am sure nothing will be insured or honored here.

Anyways for what it is worth, if you can get the original glass do it, force the insurance to take the molding cost, that's less than a couple months mandatory insurance payment to have the car.

Whatever, it was a long day man.

Thanks Ross and others that shared the experience.

You guys rock!

as far as the molding goes I would go shop to shop to see which one wants your business the most...they can convince the ins to get the molding if they really tell them that its needed....mine did and i gave them my business

The economy sucks still so people will kill for $$$ shop around!

Nope, people don't give a sh!t at all. You may get a decent personality on the phone but once it comes to the drones doing the work they are paid by the hour and could care less about your 2 decade old car. I am just so glad that I don't rely on other people to do **** for me, I don't think I could handle it more than maybe one time per year or two. I have however acquired a buttload of extra magazines as they only hold 12 each
