Failure Date: 10/19/2009

Have had 4 windshields since we bought this car. The first time it was replaced the glass people said that there was no primer under the black exterior paint which probably contributed to the break. Each time after the repair people said the same thing. Lack of primer accelerated body rot around the windshield. Now water pours into the driver side floor due to rot around the windshield - auto body shop is looking at it now. They said it could be expensive to repair, they are going to try to fix it so that it doesn't leak. This is the most recent incident. The prior replacements were done by settles glass, triumph glass and jm phillips glass. All repairmen said the same thing - lack of primer led to windshield breakage and accelerated rot.
