I'm hoping the rain holds off this afternoon so I can get Cricket all clean!

Thanks everyone!! I was heading out to Mach V this morning and stopped to get some coffee. When I came out and started the car, the light went out.

Cricket's CEL came on this afternoon. It's yellow, nothing is blinking and the car runs fine. I called Sterling and they aren't taking appointments until September, but can do "emergency service" next week. My SA didn't think it was a big deal, probably "just a sensor". Is it ok to drive? Oh, and I did check the gas cap. :itsme:

I'm heading over in a few minutes!

I can't believe this happened, but another rock hit my windshield today. I was on Rt 50, almost in the same place as it happened before. :banghead: The new windshield isn't even two weeks old!! At least I have the name of the guy who did it the last time, so it should be a lot less expensive.

Katie asked me to post this for her: Thanks to everyone for attending, supplying all the yummy food and the much needed assistance in setting up, cooking and clean up. I'm glad you all had a good time. Thanks. I would like to add th

The weather forecast looks great for tomorrow!! It should be perfect for a picnic! :top: No rain for DCMM!! Hope to see everyone there!

I think it was an R53, but I didn't get a really good look.

I think I fixed it. I uploaded the pictures to Flickr. I posted the Cherry Picking Run pics from my Mobile Me account, I must have done something different this time. Thanks for letting me know.

I've been sufficiently scared off from using Safelite, so I cancelled my appointment. I got a quote of $545 from Funktion Auto, so Cricket is going there on Monday. I called MoA, but they never called me back. Thanks again for all the advice!!

Thanks! I will definitely call MoA tomorrow! It's a huge chip that has grown to almost 8 inches. It's beyond repair. I should post a picture. We have a $1000 deductible. I know how you feel about that . I used to have a $100 deductible, but I didn't know what Dave had. He has never had a comp claim, so having to pay for this, he probably breaks even. We are going to talk to USAA about dropping the comp deductible after this. I have an appointment with Safelite in Arlington on Thursday morning. The person I talked to on the phone said they use OEM glass, as they don't manufacture glass themselves for MINIs. The quote they gave me over the phone was $535, but she said to call the shop and they will likely match the online quote. I will also be able to watch the install. I can always cancel the appointment if I need to. Are the A-pillar clips something the dealer will have in stock? I can run to MoS tomorrow afternoon. I appreciate all the feedback/suggestions!!

We can't get windshield replacement coverage because we live in DC. I knew MINI windshield's were prone to damage so we asked about it when we bought the car. We could probably submit a claim under our comprehensive policy, but I'd rather not do that.
-
Cricket's windshield got hit with a rock today and needs to be replaced. I called MoS and was quoted $1100 (I don't have rain sensors). Safelite's quote was $361. I read the threads on NAM about the issues with Safelite's installs. Has anyone used them and what did you do to ensure it was done correctly? Are there any other shops you would recommend? This is not covered by my insurance, so this will be out of pocket, so obviously I'd rather not spend $1100 at the dealer.
