--today I replaced my windshield--

so I dropped my car to get my windshield replaced... covered insurance at no cost to me, and OEM... droped it off at 8:30 they said it will be done with in two hours or less... 11 comes noon rolls around nothing so I drive there around 1pm (satellite auto glass) I get there and I see my car parked, so before going in to get my keys I go and do a full walk around it and inspect it all.. NOT happy whoever parked it the car was sitting on top of the curb aka my cf lip eating it sad I know.. I look at my freshly painted roof top and there is scratches for days on the corners were the roof top brackets were removed and I was mad man... guy keept telling me yes I see it am sorry we will pay for all of it, I said damm right you will... so now I need to redo my roof either paint or wrap it gloss CF and get a new front lip... lip isn't bad but still am super picky...

well that's my story now wait for a call from them and settle it down.. install job looks great as it was factory but sloppy job around it.. oh well what you going to do right...

Sucks big time... That is why I replaced my windshield myself.


I don't like random/unknown people driving or working on my car(s). That, and it seems impossible to find anyone who does a good job.

I had Safelite doing my windshield in my driveway. Took the guy only 45 minutes. Very professional.

Safelite did my 2011 Chrysler. Total mess. Cut the dash, moldings are not flush. Yep. I will do my E55 myself, just looking to find a decent source.

It was a cloudy day, so it does look more matte in this pic.. However, under light it is more gloss. Yes it is cf, here is a close up pic..

Breti 00, a CF wrap would be a good option instead of painting it.
Hope everything works out.
