I'm on my 4'th windshield and giant glass always does a good job.

Default quality of replacement windshields?

What brands of replacement windhields have you had installed (PPG, LOF, Safelite?) Have they had as much distortion as the OEM windshields?

Default I had 2 oem and they sucked. Then a Safelite and that sucked. Now I have another

oem and I'm going on a year with it and It has been great. I'ts the longest I've had a windshield in this car. I'ts a 99.5. So I really can't say what one is better.

You GOTTA stop following gravel trucks around. I know it's fun, but it ain't worth it.

Default actually worse, I was trying to swap my rear view mirror-

for one w/anti glare.

Trying to take off the assembly:
I was twisting the mirror to the right and downward, while twisting the base to the left and the mirror ALONE pulled away from the mount.

Me being a retard, tried to push the mirror back onto the backing and CRACK, too much pressure on the windshield.

still have this nub staring at me while I drive, any easy suggestions on how to get this thing off?
