Description of the problem | I have a july 2002 build, mini cooper s . To date i have had 6 windshields installed. Most have suffered stress related failure,but 2 started as minimal rock strikes ,which later resulted in long (10- 14 inch) cracks. Glass is sub-standard,too thin ,and too soft. I definately fear for my safety as long as this glass isn't redesigned.*ak |
