Description of the problem | I was driving down a city street going 40 mph when i heard a pop coming from the windshield. When i looked over, there was a crack about midway up the windshield. It ran from the far right toward the middle about 10 inches and then downward. It was curving downward. There was one car in front about 25 yards away going about the same speed as i was. I could not believe that the car in front of me could have thrown a rock that far and hard enough to break my windshield. I have been hit many times before on the highway and my window had never broken. Only small nicks that i can see. I got to the theater and got out to look at the window. The crack started from the edge of the window. I could not see where anything had hit the window. It was a clean break. I had to take my outback to the dealer because i'm having problems with the window express switch, and they looked at my windshield. They are going to replace it because i had purchased extended coverage and it was covered. |
