[Shotimes] windshield replacement

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

I had one replaced on the my previous SHO and it cost about $170.
Less than my deductible.  The windshield came with the part for the
mirror already on it, which was a bummer because I wanted to mount
it higher than standard to get the mirror out of my way.  I'm 6'5".
Mirrors are always in my way.

My only caution would be to make sure to check all your trim after
they're done.  On mine, a piece of rubber trim towards the bottom of
the window on one side was glued back down shoddily (?) and it
always stuck up and flapped a little at highway speeds.  They wouldn't
fix it.  It's pretty hard to look cool with your rubber flappin' in the
wind!  ; )
