| Description of the problem | I went to my car on a cold morning in january and found a crack across the windshield at the level of the rearview mirror. I do not recall hearing a rock chip prior the crack forming. I consider this crack a safety issue with the windshield cracking possibly because of rearview mirror loading or unusually crack prone windshield glass. Note: the affected parts pull-down in this form is not working. I would have selected the windshield and the rearview mirror. |
