| Description of the problem | On the 10th of july while stopped at a red light, i watched a crack come down from about 4 inches from the top of the passenger side windshield, to down just below the rear view mirror height and then continue all the way over to my side (drivers side). A sound of something hitting the windshield was never heard! Only when i examined the windshield from outside could you see a very minute chip which should have never caused this damage! This windshield glass is so thin that i'm afraid if something bigger hits it, it will come through the windshield! This is very dangerous! A very expensive oem windshield (and calibration) is required as a replacement due to the eyesight cameras. Why an after market windshield an calibration can't be used i don't know? Something up? |
