made some more progress today. got my headliner all installed and looking gorgeous. I even finished my sunroof motor install and covered it up really nice. looks factory!
if you look close you can see the big crack in my windshield 
installed all my interior (cept for the dash) and vaccummed it all out too.
check out these door cards 
I pulled the red trim stripes out of my old GTI rally car. cleaned tyhem up a bit and installed them in the rocco. they might be too much. I dont know yet.
heres me actually working on the carr instead of taking pics.
this came in the mail today 
(besides the duck, theres a read wiper motor in there)
oh yeah, these things suck.
Picked up a new windshield today. drove to Concord NH for it. 2.5 hours each way. 
- but hey, I got the glass 
Im going to install it later tonight. Im going to keep the "gator claws" on the sides but delete the top one. I just want to ad some extra glue to the headliner so it doesnt slip.
taking the windshiedl out was easy. I did it with just my bare hands and a bunch of plastic cards (like credit cards) I never once pushed on the glass with my feet or anything silly like that. just took my time and did it right. the gator claws are partly to blame for causing the breakage on installation. add that to me being rushed and distracted and POP.
the problem with those clips is that they wont stay on. so they were coming off and getting in the way of the rope. so I stuck a screw driver up to pry the clip out of the way and thats all it took to pop the glass.
in this pic you can see how the peice curls away from the lip.
Im going to reinstall it tonight by myself without that top clip.
