Consumer Description

A stone came off the road in Interstate 25 and hit my windshield. Within 24 hours, there was a crack halfway across. I have had the car for a year and this will be the second windshield replacement. The first one was from an impact so small that I could not see it--I thought it had just spontaneously cracked. The dealer showed me a pinhole impact (you could find it by tracing the crack with a ballpoint pen until the tip of the pend caught in the impact crater). These windshields are garbage--I have been driving since 1974 and have never seen anything like this.
