I was passing a truck underneath the bridges in Cincinnatti, and POW! Red's windshield got cracked by a rock thrown up from a truck.
And it got worse on the way home when a giant spitball flew out of an empty dumpster...I think I've documented it here already.
So Safelite came here and replaced the windshield, right in the driveway at Weeville.
It squeaked on the bumps. Like squeaky leather shoes on a hard tile floor. Squeak, squeak squeak. Annoying, never had that before. So they came and put in another one today.
I was at work while the job was being done at home. The guys who came out today pointed out that if you press on the dashboard at a certain point near the corners of the windshield, both sides driver and passenger...there's the squeak.
Sue Unit watched them replace the windshield both times, and they used a duckbill platypuss sort of a spreader thing to pop the old windshield out from the inside both times.
Mashed the dashboard. Install new windshield, install new squeak. I'll drive Red to work tomorrow. It he's still got a squeak, that's what I've got. A squeak. Thanks to the new windshield.
Morale of the story: Don't drive through downtown Cincinnati. The roads are beat up and terrible and rocks fly everywhere.
