[DML] Re: Louver hinges Resting on Rear Windshield

["Dave Swingle" <swingle_dmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Something is installed wrong. The hinges should not be near the 
glass, and if they are touching it, it will eventually break. Best 
thing it to take a close look at another car or get some detail 
photos. I can't imagine what's wrong but somehow the hinges are not 
attached to the louver in the correct orientation. 

Interesting to note - if you have the louver off the car, it's 
possible to break the rear glass by simply dropping the hinge against 
it. It's like a glass cutter....
