Description of the problem | Our 2016 prius 2 sedan windshield was struck by a small rock cast laterally across the freeway from several lanes to my right, as one would skip a stone across water, traveling about 55mph. Unforeseeable, unavoidable act of chance, kicked up by another car's tire. Initial damage (see photo series) was two unsightly but repairable craters in the outer layer of glass. Within minutes / before an epoxy repair was possible, two cracks grew at an alarming rate. A smaller crack went vertically, and a fast and large crack ran horizontally. Within a day it spanned the entire driver |
