Description of the problem | My mini cooper has developed a huge crack in the windshield. The dealer said the crack was started by a chip from road debris, however cracked windshields are a well know problem with the mini. Many mini owners have replaced their windshields 3 or 4 times. Before i buy a new windshield i would like assurances from mini usa that the replacement won't promptly crack, as has happened with many other owners. *nlm |
