Took it to the Boerne, Texas car show. Even with the threat of rain, the show was well attended. I started raining around 3p when I got home just before I got her safely back in the garage.

I'm salty I can't order the 2022 Map Update anymore and that there are no further Map Updates. How can Map Updates stop for the 2019 with only 3 years of updates. I think you can get 2023 updates (A14) for Ford's My Ford Touch (Sync2) which was last in a vehicle in 2016. What is GM's problem? Ridiculous...

I understand the frustration,,,, but in the long run you might be better off with OEM glass.

I think Safelight will work with your insurance company for you. You don't have to do it.

If I file a glass claim on my phone, the day you file, you setup an appointment with Safelite. Literally takes 0 time.

The saga continues... got the window in and the tech came and told me I wasn't going to like it. It's about 1/4 inch too short, it seals and no wind noise but he was right. They are letting me keep this glass while oem comes in, I just paid the $300 difference. Still about $250 less than safelite quoted. In the pic you can see the rub mark on the weatherstrip from old window

but hey, at least I can drive car now and no more rattling glass in the door

When fully up, it only goes onto second weatherstrip maybe 1/8 of an inch. He is going to let his supplier it doesn't fit
