Description of the problem | Drove through a construction zone on a military base (30 mph) and parked at the bank. No noise indication of a rock hitting the windshield. Came out of the bank and there was a 6-8 inch crack starting under the passenger side wipers, that extended from the edge up into the passengers view. Drove the car another approximately 10 minutes to get home, crack became 12-16 inches. Parked the car in the driveway and marked it with a window marker. The next day the crack was 3 inches longer.... From sitting in the driveway?? Either way, here it is july and still waiting on a new windshield. Crack extends halfway up and into the middle of the windshield... And the car has not been driven. It has been parked since the 19th of june but the crack is still getting bigger. |
