A2 windshields are bonded in, unlike the A1's, which used clips and a gasket. Not really a DIY, unless you have experience replacing bonded in windshields. Most GOOD body shops can do it. Once the new windshield is installed, they shouldn't let you take the car for about 6-8 hours, while the glue/goop sets up. If you slammed the door with the windows up and sunroof closed, you run the risk of popping the windshield out. > When should I have it replaced? ASAP. > How long can I put it off? It doesn't leak and doesn't impair vision, is > there any danger in it? What state are you in? Here in CA, you get a 48 hour fixit ticket, if they catch you, and a huge fine if you don't get it fixed or get a non-op within the 48 hours. It is VERY dangerous, especially in your case with the long running cracks (unless you LIKE eating windshield glass). --Holland Forced Failure Racing Don't Ask MotorSports [email protected] a2_16V List Owner [email protected] San Jose, California _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
