    Anyone else getting complaints from window install guys that the rack front corners sit forward enough that it makes it hard for replacement window installs? Any workarounds or take that rack off when install happens?

    I just had mine replaced and it was no issue, I made sure to review with the tech before doing any paperwork. Stock windshield lasted 6 years, new one lasted 4 days...

    Okay must of been the installer. He told me he had to lean on it to get it it under the rack corners and now I am seeing cracks form from both bottom corners. I will confirm with tech before he comes out. Thanks all.

    same. I can only assume reinstalling the rack will be even harder because the silicone.


    ditch lights will have to be removed and that's also a pain in the ass. luckily I'm still on my first windshield
