Post your OOPS!

I thought I would share a good oops that I had today.

I was installing a new rear view mirror assembly and if anyone has done this they know how hard it is to engage the spring back into the mounting plate. There are two opposing pins held firm by a heavy-duty spring that holds the black swan neck and mirror to the mounting bracket, which is attached to the inner roof. I was using a piece of wood and a rubber mallet to engage the assembly. Oh, it engaged all right but the piece of wood was too wide and I busted my windshield.

Thank God Massachusetts mandates glass coverage for all insured cars.

Anyway, there is my grief.
