Depaula Chevy,My turn in the barrel.

OOOUUCH, bet you saw that coming at you!
Yes I dont relish the idea of people messing with the car, gotta realize though that I buy it to drive and enjoy, gotta give a little someplace so I expect some road rash and normal stuff......not a painted windshield LOL.
I hope your windshield came out ok, have you had it replaced yet?
Hopefully with Factory Glass.

Think I was fiddling with the stereo.

Sounded like a gun. Caught a Jeep SUV fading away in the rear view mirror headed the other way. There is a lot of crap and stones in the paved median there and he must have picked something up and tossed it. 60 mph both ways = 120 mph impact. A Monday morning less than 4 miles from home. 4500 miles on the car.

I did get factory glass but GM already disco'd the original part number. The dot matrix around the mirror is different now. Lets in a bit more light. I'm guessing their stab at quelling the complaints about visibility and feeling like driving a tank. Bummed me out but I did the best I could and the replacement went seamlessly. Cost me $0 out-of-pocket. Thank you, American Family.

Alls well that ends well.......
I had a chopped street rod so to me the visibility is better than ever LOL!!!
Carry on and enjoy that gorgeous car!

Best of luck with yours. Sorry for the pita dealer experience.

Thank you again Depaula Chevrolet for placing my family and I into danger yet again!

Stemming from the overspray on the windshield issue (STILL UNRESOLVED),
I rounded a corner last evening and the sun caught the windshield just right that the overspray lit up like the night sky causeing poor vision and at the same time distracting my eyes from the road.....the road where a bicyclist was riding partly off of the shoulder...by the time I saw him I had to jump over the double line nearly missing an oncoming car...Thank God I drive responsible...if I were going fast this could have ended poorly!

I think its time for me to just replace it myself with an OEM....been living with it and now it has escalated to a near miss incident.

Get your own glass man and have Chevy dealer sell you an oem windshield at their cost...your glass man replaces glass. side glass not that costly to replace with your own glass man...time to move on...

Why does anyone let a dealer do body work...there are great independent body shops...lesson learned and others beware...

Phantom, what dealer are you using now? I have recently purchased my Camaro from Depaula, (I must admit, they gave me the deal i wanted) that said, I'm not sure about service though, now that i have read about your experience. Thanks
