| Description of the problem | I was washing my car in my driveway while i was washing my car everything was fine. As i started to dry all of a sudden there was a large crack on my windshield starting from rear view mirror. I know i was leaning on the top of my car to wash and dry but i know i'm not large enough or strong enough to make this crack. I never leaned on the windshield ever. After reading other people's concerns with this situation i could have leaned on the car and added more pressure to an already pressure point to the vehicle. I called the dealer and spoke with a manager and he just said perhaps a rock i mentioned i would go over and show him. I took it to the dealer and they found no chip or anything that may have been the cause. I was told they would talk about it and let me know. I want to know one dealer had 75 windshield on back order. Perhaps this was a manufacturer defect and they are trying to sweep it under the carpet.
