Description of the problem | While driving normally a very very small pebble size stone hits underneath the windshield wiper on the passenger's side. The windshield immideiatly spiders all over the window. I've been told all the problems with the bmw windshields were corrected, but i've heard from over 20 fellow mini owners of random cracking and failures within the first 2000 miles!!! This is totally unacceptable, and it isnt covered under warranty becuase it was the result of an impact.*ak |
