Thank you Charmaine !!

You can get it from Lenny or check with your local Trim Shop. I would imagine they would have it too.

not to be a Debbie downer, but why are there no vent wing catches? Those should have been installed before the vent wing rubbers...

Different installers, different techniques is all I can come up with. It only cost me one windshield, Joe eats the rest (on a buddy deal I'm assuming) !!! The added rigidity with the chrome accent strip added to the "Tightness of Fit". Lynn May uses the "Slap-In" procedure like I was taught a one VW Dealership in Atlanta a long time ago. DON'T wear any Rings tho !!!!

Keep telling yourself that. Let me know what the final invoice looks like. The one you get after you get the car back (if that ever happens) and you THINK you're square with him.
