I hope no one was hurt during that incident slurppie,found out that only the middle section of the windshield is coated with sound screen and the edges are not,and usually a windshield is covered under warranty up to one year or 12k,found a descent discussion about the sound screen winsdshields on the f-150 thread.

Interesting read on the Soundscreen windshield. I'm looking into having a product applied called "ClearPlex". The cost runs almost as much as a new windshield but supposedly comes with a warranty covering up to $2k.

Here's the local shop that offers it.
http://www.allprowindowtinting.com

After speaking with the shop owner,  I was under the impression it was some new product.

I believe this is the stuff, http://www.clearplexusa.com/36-x-25-clearplex-roll-4-mil-75-square-feet/

Hell for that price I can buy a roll and apply it myself and save $200.

So I did a little testing with the car today. Had it loaded up with around 450 lbs of gear.

Found out it won't build more than 5-6 psi on a wot downshift. No matter what gear it just won't do it.

1st and 2nd gear pull hard but 3rd and up are sluggish. Not sure why it would pull boost when there is no knock and meth is spraying.

Also my CM voltage is hovering around 13.7 with ac and cooled seats on. Seems lower than I'd like.
my voltage hovers around 13.7 with all that on along with 1,200 watts rms hammering the trunk lol. Stays around the same even with all of it off, I guess the alternator doesn't put out max amps unless it needs to, just puts out enough to keep the battery charged with the current load.

I'm a dad for the 3rd time. This is my son. Looks like Car parts will be on hold for a while as he was my birthday present.
He is just too precious! Congratulations! 3 is nice number. Oh, and it takes a man to make one.

I spoke with my service advisor regarding the cracked windshield and he clearly stated if it was a stress crack maybe he would of made an exception,but due a rock hitting the windshield,he told me to call up the insurance co and demand a oem soundscreen wiindshield because of the reduction of the noise level factor which some aftermarket glass co do not supply,another note is that the car being less than two years old they should consider it,after a long conversation with the insurance co they finally approved the oem windshield which will be done by safelite next week for free,BTW forgot to mention a special tool is needed to remove and install the rain sensor component along with the rear view mirror,and of course an experienced installer is a must,sorry for the long post causr had some bad experiences in the past with oes co and installers and having air leaks because the winshield was not sealed up properly which then can cause water to enter the cabin through the firewall causing damage to electrical components and modules,then eventually you will see a puddle of water in your passenger floor mat.
