My sister has…

Windshield developed a crack with no noticeable impact from debris. First incident december 1, 2014, windshield replaced with identical model by carlex (minus the subaru oem sticker). The replacement windshield has exhibited the same symptoms (developed a crack with no noticeable impact) on january 15, 2015. This seems like a safety issue for structural and visibility reasons. Both cracks began in the windshield…
