Consumer Description

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD TWICE IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WAS BECAUSE OF A PEBBLE AND I WENT TO THE REPLACEMENT PLACE RECOMMENDED BY MY INSURANCE CARRIER. THE SECOND TIME THE WINDSHIELD JUST CRACKED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD THIS "CLICK". THOUGHT THERE WAS A CRACK, BUT SAW NOTHING. NEXT MORNING I GOT INTO MY CAR AND THERE WAS A CRACK ABOUT 3" LONG ON THE BOTTOM, LEFT, DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. NO LITTLE IMPACT CRATER INDICATING A DEBRIS HIT, JUST A CRACK. I WENT TO ONE OF THOSE REPAIR PLACES AND THEY DID THEIR THING, BUT OVER THE COURSE OF 2 WEEKS THE CRACK GREW UNTIL IT WAS ABOUT 18" LONG. FINALLY JUST GAVE UP AND REPLACED IT. WHEN I CALLED THE WINDSHIELD REPAIR PLACE THEY SAID THEY GET A LOT OF XB CALLS. THE WINDSHIELD DESIGN IS FAULTY CAUSING IT TO KEEP CRACKING. I LOVE MY XB AND DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT, BUT ALSO DON'T WANT TO KEEP BUYING WINDSHIELDS!!! *TR
