HELP! What to do: Damaged Windshield when Delivered to Dealer?
What's up with the MAP plant sticker straight off the Ranger and Focus? I thought we were supposed to be getting a Bronco-specific one?
So @flip may be able to confirm this, but I would think the OEM will have the special imprints on the replacement glass. "Bronco Est. 1966 " above the VIN and "Accessory Ready" with arrows pointing to the Roof Rack mounts. You should demand nothing less.
What is difficult about "Hey dealer, that windshield is going to be fixed before I take it." Or "Dual 1-800-54-giant glass". It is covered under comprehensive insurance.
Has nobody needed to replace a windshield on a car before??

Exactly!Remind me not to have you inspect any new cars for me before picking up.
Amazing how people like @Rollerstud98 can't seem to get this concept.

So wait, do you really not know the difference between a body on frame vehicle vs a unibody vehicle? You should go get a Bronco Sport then if that's the case. Sounds like you will never know the difference

It's the "hey, there are dents in the windshield frame" that I would be concerned about. Or did you miss that part?

Auto transport companies legally own the cars they transport from when they get loaded to when they get signed for by the dealership. As long as the dealer saw it and noted the damage, then the auto transport company is responsible for the damage.

You’re the one who doesn’t know the difference. Give your head a shake and don’t post such stupid shit.So wait, do you really not know the difference between a body on frame vehicle vs a unibody vehicle?

Haha -- good luck with that demand! They could agree to pay for the OP's gas for the wasted trip to the dealership, and that's about all it would take to put him back in the same position he was in. Being forced to wait longer than you want to for the opportunity to purchase a luxury niche vehicle isn't a compensable damage, not even in the USA!
It is an interesting mount. The full thickness of the windshield is exposed on the top and sides. Here is a side pic.

I agree, but if an attorney got a hold of this case, the OP would probably win on those grounds. But the crappy part is that it would likely be needed to be taken to court to get a just resolution, unless the dealer steps up to the plate.

C'mon man. Are you really arguing that the Bronco is NOT body on frame and the Bronco Sport is NOT unibody?
I think you need to recheck your information.
