Next the monkeys at the glass shop... Let me put it to you this way, they are getting me another windshield.

Top before, bottom after. Also notice the defect on the edge of the glass. I think they installed the weatherstrip upside down. I will be inspecting the glass and weatherstrip before the next installation. Something they should have done this time.

When I finally got home I checked the new fitting. It's leaking too. FFS. I am going to make a new hose, the new one will be a half inch longer. Shouldn't make a difference as the hose I have on there now isn't stressed. It's the only other thing I can think of doing.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrghhh!!!!!!!!

Would you guys have them fix it, even if it doesn't leak? Our cars are so loud that I have no idea if there is any additional wind noise.

Bottom line, it's not right, I'm not happy with it. They are getting another windshield and redoing it on their dime.
