| Description of the problem | About a week a go i noticed a crack in the windshield on the passenger side. I can not attribute it to a rock our other road debris. Close inspection shows a very small chip directly under the wiper blade, which would protect the windshield from a rock etc. The crack extends vertically down under the plastic trim and up almost to the wiper blade sweep limit. This is the second windshield in my vehicle. In 2017 i thought i get hit by a rock. A large chip appeared on the drivers side and a crack immediately appeared. I paid for a repair by the dealer. It was not covered by warranty or insurance. I am now wondering if the first windshield was hit by a rock or not. Regardless, i cant believe i will be on third windshield in a vehicle i have not yet had to replace the brake pads. |
