	I've already recounted cracking my windshield on the last push into the
car, but here is the rest of the story.
	The local glass shop quoted me $150 for glass and $40 for labor to put
in another one.  After paying, I noticed on the invoice it took them 2.8
hours to do it!  The cashier said there was a lot of swearing in the
shop earlier that day...  I was told that my WCM American style seal was
real "bulky" and hard to work with, my own experience exactly.
	One of the tricks they use is a hot water soak to make the seal more
pliable.  On the day I cracked my window it was high 60's but overcast. 
Apparently a warm seal also lets that "chrome" aluminum trim push right
in.
