These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

'02 C4S likely getting new paint job soon, also needs new windshield. Is it smarter to get it painted first, or replace windshield first? Or maybe it doesn't matter. (I'm also seeking windshield replacement advice, south Orange County, CA).

POST 2Original post

I would DEF. get the windshield replaced first............. think about it

POST 5Original post

Yeah, why are you repainting? Just changing colors?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's not official yet but it's looking like I may get a full car repaint (warranty item, I hope). It's purely coincidental that the car also needs a new windshield (43k miles, badly pitted, one chip/crack).

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
