[DML] Re: Ze Windshield, eet eeeez cracked!

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you jack the car by the crossmember (or some other part of the
frame) or by those little pads cast into the underbody? I don't trust
the official jacking points -- underbody flexes too much (plus that's
a lot of weight to suspend from 24 year old fiberglass).

BTW: my second fiddles range from 21 foot long Lincolns to a F150 with
205,000 miles on the odometer to the same AMC I drove in high school.
