MMH - windshield damage, again!
Just wondering if anyone is having any difficulties with their windshields cracking. About two months ago while leaving a parking lot, I heard a pop and my windshield (WS) cracked. It started at the bottom of the passenger WS in the black area of the glass under the WS wiper blade. Because there was a small (very small) "star", Ford said something must have hit my glass. I had a reputable local company replace it as it was in stock.
Now yesterday while traveling all of a sudden there was a pop again and I looked up and there was an 8" crack -- same place as the first time. I pulled over the road and noticed a very small "star" again -- just like the first time. Same area, at the base of the WS, in the black area, just below the blade. Not sure how a rock would get there and in the same place and within 2-months apart.
I had family in the car and they did not hear anything hit the WS, just heard the pop. Am in AZ and is hot, but when parked I vent the moonroof to let heat out. While driving I do have the A/C on.
Just wondering if I am just a "lucky" person or if others are having this problem. I'll be going to FORD again. This time I'm taking a picture of the glass in case this happens a third time. Insurance company will allow three replacements a year. Wow, two in two months! Thanks for any input/suggestions!
