Consumer Description

TODAY, I FOUND AN 8 INCH CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD OF MY 2004 HONDA ELEMENT. I DON'T RECALL ANYTHING HITTING MY WINDSHIELD RECENTLY AND THERE IS NO STAR OR CHIPPING ON THE WINDSHIELD, INDICATING AN IMPACT. I HAVE ANOTHER CAR THAT HAD WINDSHIELD DAMAGE, BUT THAT WAS DUE TO A BOLT THAT CAME FLYING AT THE CAR. THE CRACK SEEMS TO START ON THE EDGE (UNDER THE RUBBER SEAL) ABOUT 6 INCHES ABOVE THE BOTTOM AND EXTENDS UP IN A "J" SHAPE. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD PROBLEM I HAVE READ ABOUT. *AK
