A non-forum friend had the glass crack spontaneously in his '05 FGT. His comprehensive insurance covered the $1800 cost (parts and labor).
Has anyone else had this happen?

Did his seat back hit the glass? I purchased the seat stops from Analogdesigner (I'm pretty sure) quite some time ago.

Kendall sells the stops on his website.

Everyone said Mama's but the wait list wasn't compatible with our Saturday PM flight. Instead we went to a place by the Aquarium but I can't rmember what it was called.

My glass cracked while the car was sitting on jack stands in the garage under it's cover. The only thing that may have caused the crack was high ambient temperature. We did not find any evidence of a potential contact between the glass and anything else. The car had 5100 miles with no issues prior to the crack occurring. Hagerty covered the replacement.

GT Jack had his break at NOLA, did not know what caused it but had it replaced at Ford dealership.

Close but no cigar Blake. It was Utah. I am not even sure when it happened: here in MO, or being transported to UT. It was just "there" the day before the Rally when we headed up to Park City. I have Kendall's seat stops so I am sure it was not seat back hitting the glass. I have no idea what caused it. Also warranty had just expired and the Ford dealership here wanted too much money so I got the glass from X2 and had them install it. that gave me an excuse for another road trip. I did not want to deal with the insurance companies and have some unknown replace it as you have to remove some cabin parts to get it done. I inspected the car when the glass was out, and the glass that came out looking for any clues as to cause but did not find anything. So it's still a mystery what caused it.
Hey Brian,
Hilo is not known for fine dining but there are two places I would recommend.
Ponds has good food, good service and a nice view. www.pondshilohi.com/
Ken's is more local, featuring big portions and big waitresses. Food is good too. www.kenshouseofpancakes.com/
Let me know when you will be around and I might be able to meet you and give you some sightseeing ideas.
Aloha,
Dave
Hey Steve,
At Pearl Harbor, you might consider going to the Pacific Aviation Museum - not for food, just to see the beautifully restored WWII planes.
I'm not up on great places to eat because I don't get to Honolulu very often but there are two places I do like. Café Julia has great food and is located inside the YWCA, which is across the street from Iolani Palace. www.cafejuliahawaii.com/[url] Islands has very good burgers, etc. [url]www.islandsrestaurants.com/
Kelvin (Aloha GT) can give you some more restaurant recommendations. He might even own a few of them.
I hope you have a great time. Most locals speak Canadian.
Aloha,
Dave

No worries, Kevin. The hurricane has passed through, the lava is not flowing very fast and no tsunami is expected for a while.

Dang Dave! If I can just get published that there is some kind of an incurable hybird gonorrhea outbreak going around I might just be able to afford a place there. LOL
Houses in the path of the lava flow are pretty inexpensive right now, Steve. Sellers motivated. Hot deals.

Dave, GT Jack had his crack on the way to Rally in Austin or Salt Lake. I called X2 Collision and he had came up and had it replaced for about $600 I think. They had an auto glass dealer replace rather than they themselves. I think Kendall invented the seat stops just for this problem. Jacks happened on the transport truck.
