| Description of the problem | We have now had to replace the windshield twice. Both times, there was a crack originating from the bottom of the glass and coming up into the line of site. Both times, the crack occurred without an apparent rock hit or other issue. Both times, the crack was noticed after the car had been stationary with no apparent issues. The first time we took it to subaru, who said it was probably a rock. I saw no evidence of a rock. |
