    You know one of the 12 bolts, there's 2 at the end in the middle section, I was using a socket extender, I was trying to tighten it and the extender slipped right out of my hand and made a bullseye crack on the bottom end of the windshield, it's spreading like crazy now, getting my whole front windshield replaced tomorrow.

    Oh, I thought you meant you tightened the strut tower bolts & cracked the windshield from the strain. Still sucks, though.

    that what I thought.. sucks but no reason to fret over spilled milk now.

    If you have a choice, get the windshield with tinted top. I had one on previous car and it is so much better then OEM style

    I have the tanabe front sway bar it only comes with bushings. Since there already is the factory sway bar you just re use the end links that are already on it.
