Consumer Description

SMALL ROCK CHIP CAUSED WINDSHIELD TO CRACK ALL THE WAY THROUGH ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. I'VE BEEN DRIVING SINCE I WAS 17 AND NEVER HAVE HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK FROM A SMALL ROCK CHIP, EVEN THE SHOP SAID HE HAS SEEN A LOT OF THIS GENERATION PRIUS COMING IN FOR REPLACEMENTS. TOYOTA HAS MADE A SUB PAR WINDSHIELD THAT ISN'T ABLE TO WITHSTAND ANYTHING. THIS GLASS IS THIN, AND VERY UNSAFE. NOW MY WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS IMPARING MY VISIBILITY.
