Description of the problem | Front windshield near drivers side bottom portion defroster area (all the way down starting from behind black plastic cover) has developed a 7 inch crack ending for time being in a fish hook at top of crack. Dealer claims extremely small pin size strike point was cause. Also acknowledged that subaru windshields with eyesight camera system behind glass are extremely thin for eyesight to work properly. I will have to replace glass at my expense. I've been driving for 50 years and have never seen a pin size impact cause this much damage to a windshield. Faulty manufacturing process? Also contacted subaru n. America and they stated that if a strike point was cause that they would not cover replacement. |
