Anyone have a windshield replaced under warranty?

Turned my defrost on this morning and from the center of my defrost vent up about 3 inchs came a nice crack in my windshield... No rock chip was present... Called the stealership and told me to come in.... I guess the Service director has to look at it to do a claim on windshields under warranty and he was nowhere to be found?... Said they would call me....

Interesting.. there was probably already a defect in the glass and it took a temp difference to make it crack. I would expect something like this to happen in freezing temps.

Hopefully they don't blame it on your strut brace..

Good luck.

Can you get me a link to this window treatment? I really want to look into this. I get a new window Monday and don't want to replace it again anytime soon.

I was at the track when I notice a crack on my windshield. It starts from the top edge passenger side 8inches down. There's no signs of a rock chip so my guess is a stress crack from body flex . I'll bring it back to the dealer to so if its covered by the warranty.
