This is the third vehicle I have had a windshield replacement done on. The first two there was damage to the trim, not fit correctly, leaving gaps. One I was selling so didn't really care enough to go through the hoops of taking it back. The other one, I was sick for a long time, and afterward I felt they probably wouldn't address it after so many months. However, this recent one I took back because:
* The exterior moldings were damaged, apparently from prying them, and they were not glued back properly, plus they were not pushed back on the roof moldings that they fit to thus leaving a large gap between the moldings, and part of the moldings were broken in the gap.
* The interior plastic moldings that were apparently removed were not fit back correctly, leaving a gap between the molding and the headliner.
* The rubber door frame molding was not fitted correctly - it hung away from the frame in the corner transitioning from the upper frame to the slanted frame.
When I pointed out these issues, they only glued the rubber trim back, and also the exterior molding on one side there it was pulling away. They DID NOT fit it back to the roof molding, nor did they glue down the inside part against the glass, only the outside part against the body/roof. They told me I signed off on this as acceptable, which I did not. They had put in the work order that 'the clips were broken previously and that the molding had been glued down'. I acknowledged that the clips had been broken, but that the previous windshield replacement had left all moldings correctly placed and glued down fully and correctly - no gaps anywhere. They went into a circular argument where I said it was repaired correctly last time and that I had brought it in without any of this damage and these gaps, and they say that the clips were broken and all they could do was add more glue. Pointless dealing with them.
I called AMA, since I am a member and AMA has a contract with them. AMA investigated and determined that since no one had any photos showing the vehicle prior to glassmaster's repair, there was nothing more I could do than call AMVIC and open a case with them, and also post reviews like this here, and also on Yelp, and also file a complaint with BBB. So here we are!! read more
