AS the TDR members/ browsers know, I had a less than stellar experience getting my windshield replaced the week before SOP4. I asked for a windshield and weatherstripping, but got a windshield only, as the old weatherstrip was so hard they actually BROKE the first W/S. I sprayed it with a hose and it leaked, so I took it back, and they glommed some silicone/ urethane under the glass, and called it good. They said if I have any problems, let them know, and they'd take care of it.
The rainy season has now started, and I called the shop back and asked if they would cover the labor to install a weatherstrip supplied by me, since they charged me $80 more than anyone else in town for a windshield alone (I THOUGHT I was going to get new weatherstripping, but turns out my $275 bought windshield and labor only ; everyone else was $185-200 ). So, I am now at a quandry. With my criminal background and the law in this area, coercion is out of the question. What would be my next logical step? I have ordered a new weatherstrip, and hope to have it by the weekend, Mon at the latest (wont know for sure til CAJUN 93 gets back with me).
Small claims court? Better Business Bureau? What else can I do to get satisfaction (besides having automotive stuff done in the swamp, where at least a windshield can get installed right the first time)?
