Description of the problem | I need to complain about the windshield on the mini cooper 2002. One week after i got my car, i was driving along and all of the sudden a chip appeared. I never saw or heard anything hit it. I have since gotten about 10 chips in my windshield. Ever since i got the car, my windshield has creaked and made a lot of noise as if it were shifting around. This scares me so much! Then, i had an appointment the following afternoon to get one chip fixed when the windshield creaked loudly and a crack went right down the middle. I honestly am afraid sometimes that my windshield is going to fly right off of my car! |
