Tiller Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I just noticed a crack in my windshield this weekend. I didn't notice it because it is close to the top behind the black frit at the top. It started from a tiny impact I guess, I can see a small "star" of about 1/4" about two inches from the top. The crack runs to the top of the window. It also runs down behind the where the mirror and sensors attach and then behind my EZ-pass. It's why I didn't see it until yesterday. I'm guessing I need to replace this before running the front window defroster probably. Tiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The crack does not bother the use of defroster. It may only snap the wires it passes but the rest will still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 As long as it does not migrate into the Wiper Path you are good. When it does you will have to replace the windshield to get an inspection sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom899 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 This must be an expensive windshield? Hopefully it will make no difference with insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtn Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's not expensive over here, perhaps €50..100 plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiller Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 That's the front window with the electric defrosting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yes. It's been standard on all Fords over here since mid-nineties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
