[s-cars] RE: rear view mirror remount >>> Windshield replacement

[Sean Douglas]

I have a Pilkington too, fits good except the only issue is the
blacked-out band area around the perimeter is not wide enough at the
bottom edge and allow the body joint to be visible.

It bugged me for a while, but I got used to it.
