Default Re: Spontaneous windshield crack questions

I'm now wondering how that happened, and have two ideas. One, there was a microcrack that was exacerbated by the drop in temperature, or two there was a manufacturing defect. (But good luck proving the latter though) Has anyone faced anything similar? Also, since my xfire is on lease, I'll probably have to replace the windshield now. How much do these cost to replace?

Thanks.
I have a 300 and Magnum as well as the Crossfire. I have this crack, just as you describe it, in the Magnum. It seems, also, that this was an issue on the 300's for a while a few years ago.
