    Where did you buy the security torx? I need some for a project as well, and not easy to source during the pandemic in person.

    Here is how I routed mine, it's snaked around the bezel and just tacked down with a couple dabs of hot glue.
    1,000 miles so far and it hasn't moved at all. The real test will come in the winter to see how the glue holds up (I live in Minnesota so it gets pretty cold)

    Nope as long as the car surface is clean. and I'm really particular about any scratches. You do need to wash the squeezee occasionally

    Amazon.
    I'm sure you could find them on ebay as well.
    When I strike out on either one of those I bite the bullet and go to Fastenall, they have just about any fastener known to man!
    Edit: the security torx I purchased even came with the bit.

    i have my first Tacoma windshield replacement scheduled with Safelite next Tuesday. 500$ deductible with USAA. i had to use it once in my last car over 8 years of life. wonder about the Tacoma... I'm at 67k miles, looking at super high mileage on it, and this windshield has destroyed itself from seemingly nothing. no strikes or anything. literally woke up to this.

    20200721_085956.jpg

    but USAA does make it easy. i will call them again and check about lowering the deductible. some years ago it didn't make sense but now I'm with the Toyota..

    There was most likely a hit at the very top of the windshield in the tinted area that just stressed the glass. I've had 2 windshields break the exact same way, a small rock hits near the roof line, no cracks just a tiny chip, and a couple days later a crack shows up.

    Are those complaints for NC'ers or Canadians cause we complain about the weather all 12 months of the year since it changes so drastically.

    No deductible on mine and the cost is cheap, rediculously cheap. The Mrs. is looking for the policy now.

    As promised here is an update on my Ridgid tool box roof storage. They handled a 600 mile road trip at 80mph with 20mph head/crosswinds, going through high pressure car washes, and sitting exposed daily to near 100 degree heat with no issues. For $100 I bought: 2 boxes, 4 padlocks, and all the stainless steel hardware to mount them.
