| Description of the problem | The vehicle was in motion on a highway when the wind shield cracked along the most superior border of the windshield. There was nothing visible or audible that had caused the windshield to crack during my 10 minute commute. There was also little to no traffic. The crack was large enough that i had to replace the windshield. I am only reporting this now because i suspect the windshield cracked secondary to being one of the defective windshield's that subaru is under scrutiny for. Unfortunately, i no longer have pictures of the cracked windshield; however, i have attached my receipt from safelite autoglass. |
