Description of the problem | Driving down the 35 mph part of hwy 130 yesterday, a lone car passed going the other direction. I heard a small "smack" of a small rock hitting my windshied. I looked at it 3 minutes later, and it was about the size of a dime. I resumed driving and arrived at my destination. Came out 1 hour later, and the crack had spread by 4-5 inches. Temperature was 65 degrees. This windshield seems extremely fragile. Now i've called to get a replacement - they are only available through dealers and cost $750. Will the new ones be more durable? |
