    damn, I cracked the screen with the blow dryer, it needed to be changed anyway, I think that I'm going with the non-tint

    ^ Holy crap! How did that happen! :shock: :shock:

    Did you use a heat-gun instead of a hair-dryer? Was the windshield at/near the freezing mark when you started?

    :cry:

    Oh man, bruddah, I'm soooooooo sorry. That's honestly never happened to me or my friends before.....it's actually the reason why I recommended a hair-dryer, specifically, instead of a heat-gun, as the latter could cause such problems.

    I starting blowing it with the dryer, lowest setting, the block thing didn't come off, I turned it up, still didn't budge, didn't it up to the highest setting and still didn't budge, then finally the black thing chipped off but like I predicted it took some of the glass with it, I don't think it cracked with the heat it cracked with me applying too much pressure against the glass trying to scrap that black thing off

    As long as I don't hit too many bumps I can drive it, its at about 4" spider crack now, until I find one without the tint and without the rear view mounting

    ^ Dang, bro, that sucks!

    But now I at least understand why it chipped off.

    Man, why's that thing on there SOOOOOOOOOO tight! Makes me wish they'd build the entire car out of that stuff!
