Locked out

[Curt Sprenger]

Yup...and then we worry about break-in. The front windshield is an easy
entry for those that want to get in without our permission. I got to
thinking about this a week ago as I installed a new drivers side
windshield.

By the way, fyi, one windshield was cracked upon deliver. Bluebird sent
out another one at no charge. That's great service.
