WOW.. what a shocker... I am very surprised.

I wonder what the hurdles are to get the "36 months" as it says "up to"

That was in 2014... guess it would be the same currently???

My maintenance manager verified that that is indeed the warranty.  The Service Center gets an additional 36 months of prorated warranty after the two years for a total of 5 years.  I went ahead with my local shop.  Getting to a service center is not easy for me and my shop has done several on Commanders and several on MU-2s.  I will be happy with the two years.

That is pretty amazing...  I hope that your shop will warranty their work as well...

New windshield installed.  They did a great job, test flight up to 25K and still had 5.1 differential on the pressurization.   My pilot side windshield was replaced in 2008 so hopefully no more cracks!  Wallet much much lighter.... :-[
