| Description of the problem | When driving about 60mph on a smooth flat highway, a small click was heard. Didn't think anything of it at first. After about 10 more minutes of driving i heard a loud pop. A 8 inch vertical crack started on the windshield. It started low, by the wipers, around the mid-line of the windshield. The crack has continually grown and is now running horizontally across the driver-side. |
