All it cost him is 3 driver points (no change for manu) , which in his position are rather pointless anyway. Could have been much worse as he clearly broke the rules by working on the car in TC.
Other points:
- why don't they have ski goggles on car? This does hapen from time to time and at least for Sweden, sone crews do have them
- In quite a few european countries he would probably be stopped by Police for driving without windscreen on road section, here he wasn't.

Also the point about the penalty going against FIA push for safety is playing with fire. They will take his words for it and change the rules to forbid driving without compete windscreen. Just like last year when him starting the stage on the rim in Portugal made them forbid this in the rules.

Hats off for Meeke for telling it like it is instead of voicing his opinion through the usual PR-BS filter.

Just to make sure you all understand: Meeke was penalised for working on the car at the control area after TC, not for driving without windscreen. If he had removed the windscreen during the road section, it would have been OK.
Latvala was also penalized in Mexico for fixing the car on Light Fitting Zone.

It would have been also OK just past the start area in the stage

Very poor performance by Mikkelsen. He cannot hide anymore behind car setup / lack of confidence / driving style change / etc. All the drivers were in the same boat starting Friday morning. The fact that Loeb was in contention for 2nd place also shows how low Mikkelsen's level is.
