| Description of the problem | My windshield got a spontaneous crack while driving, not behind any work trucks, and then as the days got hotter, it began to spider. I paid for the replacement through safelight in march 2018. I also paid for the required calibration for a total of just over $642. About a week later, i got another crack in the windshield for no apparent reason. I put sealant into it and it is starting to spread. The second time the car was parked in my driveway which is in a quiet residential neighborhood with no construction. |
