You guys are freaking me out with this windshield thing. I hope mines not next! I will tell you I've had my car since Feb, it has 1900 miles on it now. (Got it new)
Here's my problem list:

1. Left rear lower shock mount bolt fell out. Discovered this after
it started clanging at the slightest bump.---Reg overnighted
new bolt.

2. There's is a little collar with allen bolts holding it in place at the
end of my steering column. That little guy holds a bearing in the
steering column. Well that bearing disinagrated. It's fun to
replace too.---Reg overnighted a new bearing, you have to
modify it to make it work.

3. I ordered Cobra valve covers. They have a notched hole
for the PCV valve and grommet. Well they installed a round
grommet and it oused motor oil. So they sent me a new
grommet and it was again a round one. I went to
National Parts Depot and they actually had a notched
PCV grommet from an early Mustang. It worked.

4. Paint chipping or rubbing off in numerous areas.

These cars really should be assembled with better hardware.
ie....lock washers, self locking nuts, and even some lock tite in places. Don't get me wrong I love my car, however, they should have better quality control. For this reason I won't take mine on the track. I just don't think these cars will hold up well with track
abuse. Plus I get my fix with my stock car.
