Thanks for the thoughtful reply...I'll give it another shot this morning when the store opens. The thing is, I might buy it anyway. Even at $289 is still a heck of a deal.
I called around to the high-end dealerships around town to see who they used and they all used the same local glass shop. The OEM glass was not available for my wife's '21 Mazda CX-5 with head-up display and all that so they used Pilkington glass which has been great. It's as good as it was...
I was prepared to hate the dial after having a pushbutton transmission in a '22 Accord that I absolutely hated, but I don't have a problem with it at all. I haven't had any issues with accidental bumps, though.
