Consumer Description
The top drivers side of the windshield has a 2" hairline crack that you cannot feel from the outside of the vehicle. Numerous Corvette Forum Sites have discussions regarding this to be a manufacturer assembly flaw. Apparently there is some left over welding material near the corner of the windshield pillar. This material creates pressure against the inside of the glass causing it to crack on the inside layer of glass. I have contacted the local Chevrolet dealer and the GM Customer Care Center. Both have declined to even look at the crack stating it is not GM's fault. There are numerous posts on the Corvette Forums showing pictures of cracks just like mine. GM's answer was to have my insurance company replace the glass. I do not feel this is right given this is a quality control issue. Some of the windshields in the forum posts have continued to crack across the whole top of the windshield. See below for forum sites and discussions! https://www.stingrayforums.com/threads/cracked-windshield-just-cracked-itself.39937/ https://www.stingrayforums.com/threads/cracked-windshield-already.6414/ https://www.corvette7.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9165900 My car only has 11,000 miles on it, has never been driven in the rain and is always covered in my garage when not in use. It also has never been in an accident.
