What owners wrote
Crack appeared in lower driver's side portion of windshield. Car was parked when crack appeared. No known significant damage to windshield. Crack appears to have started underneath windshield wiper at the de-icer area and then spread upwards.
Winshield crack about 6 in long for no apparent reason. Car was parked. Day temperature was mild, not extremely cold or hot. It's going to cost $600 to replace due to eyesight calibration. I got it temporarily fixed with resin. Windshield technician said it was not caused by debris or foreign object.
