Ive done a lot of them for a dealer here in town.  On one of them the amplifier burned up.  Lucky for me the dealer warrantied it.  I just wish I new why the amp burned up.  Everything was covered and there wasn't any moisture around the factory amp.  The only recommendation I have is to use as little water as possible.  Disconnect battery while doing back window and let sit all day before plugging back in and returning to customer.

An AudiQ7, Dodge Viper and Porsche Panamera all on the same day and white to boot.

It happened to me too.  It gets wet and shrinks in the sun.  I had to replace the entire dash for the customer.  It was a brand new Cherokee and they didn't want to take to upholstery shop.  Cost me over 4,000 for the new dash.  I don't do cars with leather inserts on the dash anymore.

We have the Mercedes account here in Fresno and we have done our fair share.  Ive experienced this problem with about 2% of the installs.  The antenna for the transponder is in the back glass.  Not sure what causes it not to work.  The good thing is that is has always started working again.  I hate the not knowing tho.

It was 660.00.  We did two this Saturday and saved me lots of time.

This might seem like overkill but what I did is I ordered a new back window from Honda that way I can shrink on the stand and then install.  We've already done about 6 so far this year so its gonna be a popular car.  Im charging every customer an extra 40.00 dollars above the average price to make up for the price of the window.  Im already a third of the way there.  I realize this is isn't the best answer if you are doing low volume but this is definitely a huge time saver.
