Thanks for all the responses.

I'm fairly certain that I could show/prove that the glass is defective
to the dealer. Now, I just have to make sure that replacing it is
what I really want them to do. I just went thru a windshield
replacement on another of my vehicles and I saw what they had to do to
the car to actually replace it. The process is not as "clean" as I
thought it would be.

Anyway, at least I know I have an option to consider.

Best Regards,

Dave C.
