So anyhoo, in this chapter of the holy Toledo glass break in saga, as you may recall, the Safelite Autoglass (Coventry division) couldn't do the install because the installer said a clip that holds the glass was broken and that I probably need a whole new regulator. And so; we just taped the new glass into place. When I get back home, I arrange with Safelite to get me oem real Audi glass and come to install it

..............SNIPPORAMARAMA!!!!!...........................

All cleared up with a 15 minute phone call to the weakend Safelite high command. Things are going my way. Things are happenin'! Nice.

Long story short, we get everything all apart and find the old regulator is FINE, just off the track, but since I have the new one with upgraded clips, we might as well install it.

Fresh out of "Tape This University" (TTU) just a few weeks ago, I go to extra lengths to secure the inner foam panel to the door frame because I am sure I will not have to revisit the inner door again for many years.

Then, since there is only one screw left to install, I leave it to the guy who took it all apart and retire to the kitchen for a celebratory cup of java. It's all good:) Nope.

Cause when I come back 5 min. later he reports he scratched the glass.

..............SNIPPORAMARAMA!!!!!...........................

The one screw left was too short for the last hole left at the bottom of the door since he had put the longer screw in the hole in the door handle.

What happened next you can probably guess.

He must have lowered the window for some reason / test to see if the screw he installed below the handle was correct? New glass did not clear this long screw. Nope. New glass scratched.

Did I mention that the new piece of genuine, four ring, Audi glass just got scratched? We're going to try this again next week. It's always easier on the second go around. Even easier after the third or fourth.

Bill~won't return to holy Toledo~M>>>





HAhahahahahaa d'oeth Balogna!

Man, you'll be on your what (gasp) FOURTH WINDOW on that car in - oh, hmmm - a few months?

What, the multi-trans-removal ritual (surpasses routine) has been usurped with "this"???  Time does march on, apparently.  Onward / upward!

So, annual Road to Nowhere (der //Festivus) journey will now feature this, reoccurring theme?  Your in the midst of making it a //Sport there, chiefy.  Impressive.

Dying here.  Dying here. Can't make this stuff up.  Nope.

Your misery = my humor.  Lovin it, thanks!

-Paul only you, and, better you than me K.
