Description of the problem | My windshield has a crack that runs from the lower passenger side to the center of the window and then horizontally across to the driver's side. This first started as a small crack and grew quickly. There is a tiny chip, less than a pin head in size near the beginning of the crack. No star, and not the size i would take to get fixed. I didn't think much of it other than "bummer, a big crack in my brand new car's windshield" until i saw another outback, same body style, with the same crack. I called the dealer to get it replaced and it is on a 3 month backorder. Then i checked this website and saw several similar stories. Please look into this. Is there some kind of defect in the windshield, installation, or fit? Thanks |
