Random crack on windshield

I have no idea how this happened, does anyone else have this issue?

3k miles on the car…. What’s the best way to go about this?

 

I must be blind. can’t see it

 

Will keep cracking

IMO needs to be replaced- may have started as a rock chip

 

Inside of line...

 

Full windshield replacement.

 

Bummer. Replace. I had mine crack too.

 

Rock hit, stress riser, heat/temp changes.

 

Safelite repair, Safelite replace...c'mon, sing it with me. Lol. My wife has been through 3 windshields on her 22 4Runner. I tell her she looks for flying rocks!

 

I used to live under the glide path for Houston Intercontinental. Everyone in the apartment complex was complaining about random window breaks and hood, trunk and roof dings. One lady found a nut partially embedded in her roof. Our best guess was that planes coming in had random stuff falling off of them. And we quit getting it when we moved out of that glide path. Now when I get some random ding or chip, I wonder if it was off a plane. Probably not but maybe?

 

Rock chip that turned into a crack

 

good luck. according to safelite, there is a national backorder on 4g tacoma windshields at the moment. i've been driving around, watching my crack slowly grow, for 4 weeks now.

 

My windshield was replaced with an oem, due to a nasty rock hit. The technician said it's a light windshield. Guess, they're making them cheaper (less material).

 

Haven't had my 4G 24 hours and ended up with a nasty rock chip that created a small crack thanks to NY roads. Paid Safelite $150 to fix it with vacuum resin. Rather nip it in the bud before it spreads and rather pay out of pocket considering I might need a new windshield later on and would rather save my claim until then.

 

The shop I'm working with ordered one on May 10th, and they told me recently it would arrive June 12th.

 

Sucks, but be thankful you don’t own an FJC…they go through windshields faster than a tank of fuel.

 

FWIW, No copay/deductible auto glass insurance is really cheap. I put it on everything I own with an windshield.

 

Facts. I test drove one new many years ago and a rock cracked the whole thing. Entire windshield was trash in less than 5 miles.

 

good to know, thanks. i'll check in with them again this week.

 

Exact same thing happened to me except the local glass place didn't even charge for the repair. going on one year and not spreading.
