Cracked...my boo

SophiaZ · 05-30-2010, 10:40 PM

Dude, just noticed today after a car wash that my windshield has about an 11 inch crack straight down! It was last washed 4 days ago and it wasn't there. I can see the spot at the top where maybe a pebble or rock, whatever, hit the glass... just confused if it'll make more sense just to replace the windshield instead of a repair. Either which way..my heart hurts....I don't like my baby hurtin like this

What to do...what to do?!!!

Was the car or windshield really hot? I hear that if you have a small chip, putting cold water on a hot windshield can cause it to crack out like that.

I never really thought of that... that really makes sense though!

Well..it was 84 degrees today when I washed it but I've never noticed a chip or anything til the huge crack today. So I really don't know what exactly happened. Just know that Nissan is gonna charge me an arm and a leg for this thing! Wish I could just trade it in for a different Z haha..but not so easily done

Have you considered using your insurance? When I had my windshield replaced (after 10 days of ownership mrrgh), Geico paid all but 50 bucks of the replacement fee.

Could be different in your state or with whatever insurance you have.
