Have to replace my FPIU’s windshield for the second time in a year. First time around, the Safelite guy managed to not break the original plastic appliqué and reused it with the spotlight cutout. He gave me the replacement one he had planned to use, and I eventually got the Unity templates and cut it but things fell apart in the home stretch and I had to throw it out.
So, I need to get my windshield replaced and will be at the mercy of what part Safelite orders, since I don’t think my appliqué will survive being pulled off again as it got a small crack going back on that has spread.
Is there a separate part number for the driver’s side appliqué and bracket with spotlight cutout? If there is I would love to give Safelite that beforehand, as obviously the part they pulled with the VIN didn’t account for the spotlight cutout.
I have to imagine FPIUs with spotlights need windshield replacements on a daily basis across the country. I further imagine that they don’t have to cut the piece every time or remove the spotlight and take the car back to the upfitter after to have the spotlight reinstalled.
I’ve called or written a dozen junkyards in reference to the part, but everyone either says it’s been sold already or they’re unable to pull it (too scared to pull it and possibly break it).
Please help!
Thanks.
