When I first got my Box last year, I was coming home from work on the expressway ( I-90 for those of you here in Chicago ). I looked in the rear view mirror just in time to see the passenger side windscreen blow out ! Initially I was just going to head home then I thought, well, might as well go back and look for it. I got off at the next exit, got back on ( heading the other way ), got off and back on again heading the original direction, and sure enough I found it lying in the road, undamaged ! When I got home I looked up how much it would have cost to replace the part ( $110 each ) and I was glad I went back for it ! I placed small rubber pads at the contact points with the roll bar and now they seem to sit nice and snug...

Now if I could just get the windscreen to stop rattling

( I did place some weather stripping on the bottom which helps but it still rattles. )
