Ended up going to broco auto glass in Richmond just across from Aberdeen mall. I work their open hours so I showed up about 10 minutes before close on Tuesday evening (yesterday). Brought in my papers and dealt with Raymond who was nothing but fantastic.
Explained the unique situation with the focus RS windshield, and also the ticking clock element with ice racing first weekend of January. We went over options from correct focus RS glass that will come with an empty plastic box on top ( which would house the euro only rain sensors). Early 2016 came with that but 17/18 didn’t. Still shows up as the only windshield in the system. Or we could try and source OEM glass, but the extra cost will be passed on to me. Either option put availability and shipping out of reach due to ice racing. We decided to go with aftermarket base focus glass.
I dropped the car off Wednesday morning (today) before work. I got a call at 10:51am saying my car was ready for pick up. Couldn’t come collect til once again, 10 minutes to close. Quickly went over the work, talked with their old timer about track racing etc.
Will inspect in more detail in the sunlight tomorrow, but so far 11/10 experience. Only issue was that the base model focus windshield has the rear view mirror almost literally in the MIDDLE of the windshield, whereas the RS has it maybe 2” from the headliner. That’s my own issue though and is no fault of broco.
Couldnt have been a smoother experience
