Don't do that demonstration if it's hot as hell out with the AC blasting on the inside apparently the thermal stress makes it easy to break.
Silver lining is I found out it would only cost $3.50/mo to change my deductible from $100 to $0.
Did you remove the cargo floor to clean rather than vacuum in place? I take mine out a couple times a year for cleaning

Unfortunately, the cargo floor was out since I was doing some maintenance back there. Would have been much easier to clean up had the cargo floor been in. On the plus side, I had intended to actually get the glass replaced at some point. It had a nice arc of scratches on it from a worn down wiper blade. It's nice having clear glass again. Also prompted me to upgrade to an E70 wiper arm.
I broke the front windshield several years ago while replacing the top rubber trim strip. I feel your pain. I carry full coverage on the X, but it isn't worth enough to pay extra for a low deductible. If it wrecks, it's likely to get totaled. I tend to pay for any damages out of pocket.
