Consumer Description

ONE MORNING WHEN GETTING INTO MY (5 MO OLD) 2008 SCION XB I FOUND A 2-3 IN. CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT STARTED UNDER THE WEATHERSTRIPING AT THE A-PILLAR ABOUT 6-8 INCHES UP FROM THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITHIN A SHORT TIME THAT DAY THE CRACK EXTENDED UP TO APPROX. 12-14 IN. IN A U SHAPE. DUE TO CONFLICTS I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS. BY THAT TIME THE CRACK HAD EXTENDED ABOUT 4-5IN. MORE HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND A SECOND CRACK STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE U SHAPE EXTENDING DOWN TO THE HOOD (ABOUT 2-3 IN). VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE WINDSHIELD REVEALED NO OBVIOUS PITS OR IMPACT HITS. THE WEATHERSTRIPPING WHERE THE CRACK INITIATED ALSO APPEARS FREE OF DEFECTS OR DAMAGE. UPON QUICK REVIEW FROM THE DEALER THEY DECLARED THAT IT WAS CRACKED DUE TO SOME IMPACT (ROCK/PEBBLE/ETC...) AND REFUSED REPLACEMENT AS FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
