has anyone got any cracks on there windshield that seemed to appear randomly?

 

Yeap! One came up on the passenger side from under the cowl. There are several posts about this problem.

 

I had one caused by a rock the size of aGolf Balll in my windshield. #$&* dumptruck driver going opposite direction!!

 

mine just appeared on the passenger side under the cowl to

 

The crack on mine started at the top under the rubber molding on the driver’s side and continued downwards across towards the passenger side. I took my xB to the dealer and they said they didn't see any signs of impact and that it was probably a stress crack. So the dealer replaced the windshield at no charge. Whoo Hoo!

 

Dang Mines just appeared today ! theres a huge on on right bottom driver side

 

how long did it take to replace the windshield at the dealer?

 

they claimed mine was from a rock chip bs

 

They claimed mine was from a rock chip as well. As soon as they find a small dent, game over. You ain't covered.

 

Have it checked for a stress crack that would be covered. If not covered I reccomnend Safelite. You can get a quote on line and they come to your house or work. They do a professional job!!!!

 

the xb2 windsheild from safelite elite is 600 bucks

 

I drove into a storm front at 70 miles an hour and hit head winds of 70 miles an hour. Several rocks the size of volkswagon beetles hit my windshield and the rest is history. Bumper, hood, windshield were not in good shape. This was the third day I owned the car.

 

LOL You xB2's are gettin screwed. $252 for xB1 and $558 for xB2

Many insurance policies have no deductable windshield coverage if the dealer says it's impact damage.

 

Where did you get $558? I just did a quote online for a shop in Utah and here it is at $267 for the Xb2.

If you want a quality glass, be careful about the low price offers. I replaced my windshield at 4 month due to a rock-induced crack in the blacked out area below the windshield. Every glass shop except one was quoting me aftermarket glass, not Toyota glass. Cost me $450 for Toyota glass. The shop threw in a glass treatment which is supposed to reduce likelihood of future cracks by filling all the little micro-pits in the glass surface. (So far it's working, but then I also haven't seen any tigers or sharks so it may be successfully repelling them as well. If nothing else, I have noticed the treatment helps the glass shed rain better than the original windshield.)

I have had, in the last 28 years since moving to Arizona, 6 glass replacements in different cars. With one exception, every time I allowed install of non-OEM glass (not 'OEM equivalent', but OEM branded glass) I received glass with horrible optical distortions or glass that simply did not fit right (inadequate curvature, thicker than factory glass, or some other defect.)

The *only* time I got perfect glass on the 1st replacement attempt was when I forced the use of OEM glass. Spend the extra money -- you'll be much happier with the end result. And save yourself a lot of repeat installs, callbacks, and hassles.

 

rock hit mine in north carolina spidered and is now about the length of two dollar bills, geico sent me to safelite, i have full glass, got there they had the windshield, however did not have the molding......

When i bought my xb2 a couple weeks ago, they offered me windshield insurance for $399 for 5 years...I jumped on it because I did my homework, Thanks to all you guys, and the internet.. I figured a windshield would cost about that anyway....AJ

 

They did a great job on mine--have not had any problems after a year. They put on a new gasket and everything............
