:dunno

Know exactly how you feel - but if it don't kill you it makes you stronger and boy do you remember not to do it again. Plus it gives you some interesting stories to tell down the pub.

tell me about it...exactly same thing happened to me saturday.

I was getting ready to close the shop, had already turned off the lights, then an old FIAT Uno comes in and asks for a sun strip, I was kinda low on cash, so I went to do it. Took off the rearview mirror, everything ws ok, was done in less than 10 min. When I tried to put it back inthe windshield cracked. I was freaking pissed, spent 10 what I made from the job. It was my first windshield in almost 5 years.

Damn it! :rollin

I avoid sunstrips for this reason...I have had customers remove them before now.

naughty do you have customers get the mirror removed themselves or just refuse sunstrips altogether?

On the vw/audi's I tell them there are isssues, if they want me to do the job I place the risk with them ie. If I do it and it cracks THEY will be making a claim for the screen on there insurance.

In general I will look at the mirror, if it's risky I will offer them a strip with a slit in, but the best bet - dont promote them.
