QUOTE (Mojave @ Oct 25 2005, 18:58) QUOTE (trackbird @ Oct 25 2005, 14:28) (mine had rain sensing wipers and took special glass). Then VW and the glass company fought over it until my insurance company called the glass company and things suddenly got done. And, the final windshield was the correct one and the wipers worked again Did you have problems knowing when/how to turn on the wipers yourself? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) Too many levers for poor ol' Kevin. Regarding the trim piece, I believe they're referring to the weatherstripping. While the goop/glue/gunk/whatever seals the window, the weatherstripping does add extra protection and also protects the edge of the glass from chipping (which, from what I understand, is where it is most vulnerable). The trim piece Trackbird was mentioning regarding my windshield install is the driver's side "rain gutter." They had to pull it to install the new window and trying to "push" it back in they beat the absolute crap out of it with a dead-blow. |
