Oh no. Not again.

This isn't his first 2012 Beetle. The first one was still sitting on the
auto transporter when its windshield was chipped by a flying stone.

If you recall reading here last August about Kathleen's VW Beetle getting a new windshield after taking a flying stone from a passing truck on Stan's birthday, you might consider skipping this post.

Last November, Kathleen traded her blue Beetle, new windshield and all, for an all-new yellow Beetle, which we drove to Los Angeles, arriving precisely in time to meet a flying stone from a passing truck on Hyperion Avenue.
Welcome to LA. We know the drill.
Today, John from "Nu Glass 4 U" or something like that, arrived as promised with a back-ordered replacement window. He went right to work. Near as we can tell, he did it exactly the same way the Minnesota guys did it, though John claims he's extra careful, putting in more masking tape to protect the finish, just in case.
He did a good job, did it quickly and efficiently, just like the Minnesota guys.
There was one difference, however. In Minnesota, we got a receipt, a life-time guarantee, and some big aerosol cans of glass cleaner as parting gifts.
In LA, John gave us a receipt, a life-time guarantee. . . and a handshake.

No cracks, please.
