Description of the problem | This is my subaru outback limited. While my car was parked in front of my home i came out and found a 6" crack in my windshield originating below the wipers. It has since spread an addition 12"+ inches upwards and 4" downward. I believe below the wipers is where the heating element is located and in a quick internet search, including this site, i have found numerous complaints of cracks appearing on parked cars all starting below wipers. Now for the real problem, there is no replacement windshields available. This happened on 6/24/15 and i contacted safelite that day and due the heating element the part has to come from subaru. It is now exactly one month later and there is no replacement in sight. |
