Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD IS VERY EASILY CRACKED BY SMALL STONES. TRAVELING 50MPH A SMALL STONE WAS THROWN CAUSING A SPIDER CRACK. PLANNED TO GO AND HAVE IT FILLED THAT AFTERNOON BUT IT PROGRESSED INTO A 13IN CRACK. OBTAINED ANOTHER STONE CRACK 3 DAYS LATER IN A 35MPH ZONE. THE WINDSHIELD IS FAR TOO THIN AND SHOULD NOT CRACK UNDER SMALL POINT LOADS. I HATE TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPED IF -GOD FORBID- THE PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES OFF.*AK
