He asked me what I thought. I told him that if he hadn't cheaped out on the Ford and gotten a Mercedes SUV instead, he wouldn't have had any troubles. It didn't solve his SUV's problem though.
I agree with the comments on buying cheap glass. However, this comment isn't quite apples to apples. We bought a BMW X5 driving machine several years ago and I spent thousands of dollars replacing tens of dollars worth of cheap plastic parts. 150,000 miles later, we love the Ford Edge that I replaced it with. When we were shopping for the replacement, I had a salesman at Carmax tell me that if I'm worried about maintenance cost, don't pick the Mercedes.
Bottom line, buy the best glass you can afford, but be careful on the cars you pick.
