    Thanks, Josh. Apparently they rivet the bracket to the glass with aluminum rivets - does not make sense to me, but your recollection rings true with how I'm told it looks. Yesterday a glass guy shared that you have to drill out the attachment, and then get special rivets to put the bracket on the new glass. Guess it's another example of how they shaved pennies off of the build price at the expense of fixing things later.

    Now about that ex-girlfriend breaking glass......?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
