Beautiful day, dirty car, why not wash it right!

while washing the hood, thought about low level of windshield water. So went ahead and popped the hood, but it felt like it was stuck. I shut the hood back and this is what I immediately see... I forgot the frigging wipers were up!

Hey, that looks familiar. Except I tried to use a pry bar to get my wiper off and forgot glass isnt a good fulcrum. Ellis showed up and gave the wiper a good yank and it came right off. Talk about feeling like an idiot...but hey, thats the story of my life.

The crack pattern on your was almost identical to mine.

HOWEVER, I am in the market to move to lexan on my car, so if you want a deal on my new front glass, let me know and I will work with you on it.

That sucks, Yekta. I would definately talk to Boyce about his windshield and I know someone that might be able to install the new one for you too.
