THE WINDSHIELD OF MY HONDA ELEMENT EX, 2003 HAS CRACK AFTER BEEN HIT BY A SMALL OBJECT FOR SECOND TIME. FOR THE FIRST TIME I PAY $50 FOR REPAIR. NOW I AM NOT SURE IT'S WORTH TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT IN VIEW OF SO MANY COMPLAINS BY OTHERS ELEMENTS OWNERS. *NLM

WINDSHIELD CRACKED AT LOWER DRIVER SIDE CORNER, NO IMPACT OF ANY KIND CAN BE FOUND. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON STRESS CRACK ON CORNER FOR THE ONE I RECIEVED TODAY SO I WILL TAKE TO DEALER TOMORROW, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO HAD ANOTHER STAR TYPE CRACK 2 MONTHS PRIOR WHILE DRIVING BUT WHATEVER THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD MUST HAVE BEEN A SPEC OF SAND. DEALER SAID AT TIME WOULD NOT REPAIR SINCE IT WAS A "IMPACT" CRACK. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD AND DESIGN FOR IT TO PIT AND CRACK SO EASILY.*AK
