Sounds like you're getting oversize windshields. I had the same problem with the ones the man with the crooked goatee had made, they were just too big. I think I went through 2 of them and have been rolling around with a broken windshield now for several years, lol. I do have a new one from Koch's that I need to put in. not looking forward to it...

The last one was so small it did not even take up the entire space. No reason it should have broke. I had it cut down 1/16 all the way around.

Took the car to Donnie this morning. Hopefully he can do it.

Got the car back today and the windshield looks great. My car came back to me after a week just as clean and nice as it left my house. Top notch work by Donny I expected the car to be all dirty from sitting but it looked as good as when I took it in plus a new non broke windshield.

The first one was the original German one from the car.
The second one was from Ethan's car it had a small chip already.
The third one I bought from Kermit
The forth one I had cut from the one from Kermit
The fifth I had cut by jakes glass even smaller

The sixth Donny put it
