Busted windshield

Maybe I'll get the windshield tinted got 20% all around maybe 35% on the windshield will keep these 125° inside temps in check

 

There is no way heat is cracking a windshield. I'd say there was a manufacture defect in the edge of the glass that made it weak and after time it finally cracked!

 

No idea but it does get hot 143°

 

With another Toyota windshield or another glass maker? Mine is pitted from bugs and I have around 2500 miles on my truck.

Edit>> Never mind I just read your post above..

 

bugs are pitting your windshield?

 

sucks, but i'd leave it until you source the issue. there may be a replacement 2017 or 2018 OEM screen that could improve on it if its a design issue.

 

Has to be bugs because I only drive it 8 miles to town via the highway. I have not heard nary a rock/pebble bounce off it yet.

 

A car kicked up a rock on the freeway and cracked mine, $400 later.

Should have asked insurance if it was covered...

 

I'm getting mine replaced on Wednesday. My was due to a rock all the way on the right side right next to the pillar. They couldn't fill it because of the location. With this San Antonio crazy heat lately that sucker is almost all the way across. Thank goodness for a low deductible. Wasting mod money on a windshield sucks.

 

Wish you had a windshield sunshade to compare the temperature with it in vs without it like in the photo. Myself I believe the sunshade does make a difference.

 

My glass guy claims that all new factory glass isn't what it used to be and is generally thinner.

 

If you send me a nice sunshade, I'll test it for you. Thermometer on the dash, direct sun, 115-120 external temps.

If it makes a difference, I'm keeping it. That's the catch.

 

You mite be on to something there all I know is as of rite now I'm looking at $150.00 deductible - a $100.00 state farm discount for using safe lite

 

It is in the mail! I think you will like the sunshade!

 

$250 deductible later and my new windshield is in. Just received my Weathertech sunshade and it's a perfect fit.

 

Do you folks all NOT have 0-deductible glass?

Maybe it's different everywhere else, but no deductible glass coverage is one of the best investments you can make in arizona

 

That's not an option where I'm at. This is my 4th truck and I've had 5 cars and this is my first windshield issue. Knock on wood my last. Lol

 

That's rough. I go through 1 or 2 windshields a year. Not a matter of windshield integrity, just extreme heat mixed with heavy (but low duration) rainfall, as well as 30+deg temp swings every day/night (more if you park in the sun), and lots of rocks on the road.

 

How do you like your weather tech support shade? I, debating between that one and this onehttp://www.autoanything.com/driving-accessories/60A5833A0A0.aspx?kc=AFFCJ&PID=2206300&AID=10375065

How many degrees cooler would you say it cools the truck down?
