Well I made it to the dealership @ 7:45am for my appointment to have the molding put on. In their notes they had windshield motor, not molding. So after an hour I get called back up to the front where they say they can't do it and they put me on the phone with the auto glass company they use.
Luckily, yesterday when I was at the first dealership that said they couldn't do it I also made an appointment at another local auto glass shop, in preparation for me arriving to the 2nd dealership and them saying they can't do it as they inevitably did, for 9am so after leaving the dealership I go to the auto glass shop where this happened while they were removing the old molding

And naturally they didn't have my windshield in stock so it could be replaced so I have to go back at 2pm to have the new windshield and molding put on.
So I make it home and decide to take a pic of the damage and naturally my glove box will not unlock so I had to go back to the dealership for them to fix that so i'm just now posting.
All I wanted to do was get the molding put on and wash the car

To those that have done that swap to the sunroof on Specs are few and I'll give them props for getting it done. I spent $2,300 on my swap. lol, Well it got me a tC that's 2 years newer. It sucks to see your window cracked and the runaround to get a piece of molding installed.
