it was raining in the morning while i was driving to class. i parked, and i was late so i didn't wait for the windshield wiper to go all the way down before i turned off the car. when i come out of class w. my friend we walk to my car so i can show him the scratches on my rear bumper where the jerk earlier in the morning clipped it. i go to put my backpack in the passenger seat, i look up and i see my cracked windshield. it's big and curved and it looks like my windshield is grinning at me every flippin time i drive.

i was thinkin the windshield might have cracked from a pebble that chipped my windshield, but the crack is too big and symmetrical for that. to quote my friend "it looks like someone jumped on top of it"

ne one have ne clue on why it cracked?

This has been validated before, it's true. It has to do with hazards and you calim not having the means with which to replace it so they do it for free. My friends brother had it done or I never would have believed it either.

It happened on my last car Echo.
one morning i found my window shield is cracked across..
i found a glass repair service where they do $100 discount from the deductible of insurance.
since my deductible was $100, it came out as free.
btw, i'm in ohio

a small crack/chip can be fixed. There are professionals that come out to you and charge 25-30 to fill up a crack and prevent webbing (industry term that prevents crack web like apperance from spreading). But when the webbing goes too far to control, they recommend windshield replacement for safety reasons. I'm not advocating A over B, just wanted to pin-point options. I''ve done windshield repair on my solara, came out really nice.
