That was my point! He needed help lowering it into position? How does he do installs on late modle vehicles? In other words, if he cannot drop a 688 in the hole without help, he sure the heck cannot drop a modern windshild--ten times the size--in the hole.
Can you get a picture of the ppg logo? Mine has 2 small chips in it, and after 23 years--I origionally installed it in my old bird--it has 187k miles of "road rash." I would replace it if the glass was indeed a letitimate ppg. Otherwise, I'll sit on mine because the damage and slight road rash isn't bad enough to to replace with a lessor quality.
Of course, now that I have posted about it, the next time I'm out, a large bird will do a kamakazi dive, dead center of the sheild.
