A couple of weeks ago, Brian noticed a large crack in Pepper's windshield.  I took her to Ray Sands Glass (who replaced a windshield in my Honda several years ago), and they did a super awesome job.  Pepper is as gorgeous as ever, with her new windshield made with PPG glass.  I read a couple of different websites where MINI owners complained about the original manufacturer's glass, but highly praised the PPG glass.  If anyone in the Rochester area needs glass work, I highly recommend Ray Sand's; they're very friendly and helpful, and did a high quality job.  They actually had the windshield in stock, and were all very interested in the MINI (they were asking me a ton of questions about it).
