The steps after that would depend on their answer. FYI, I'm not being critical but I had to read your post several times to get what you were trying to say. Punctuation helps the reader to understand your point.

I have received many curved windshields and flat pieces of glass from several vendors. They all arrived safely. LMC is a good company and they should be able to do better. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 | did they come that way??

If you don't want to hassel with returning, take them to a local glass shop and have them wet grind the 2 spots.
I agree with beaver, a local can do it cheaper and better. LMC has a local shop do their's. So your cutting out the middle man.
