Default cracked windshield?

My windshield suddenly cracked in very cold weather (-20 C). Has this happened to anybody else in this Forum?

no... but I hit a BIG ****in rock about 4 months ago.... and the chip is still smaller than a nickle... I dont get it, the rock was MASSIVE and i was clippin about 130km...

and my car is lowered & bumpy as ****, I dont know how the crack hasn't y, especially in this cold weather.

note* this is a replacement windsheld, not OEM....... I let the wiper arm smack down on my OEM without a blade, that turned it to a spiderweb pretty quick.

no-name aftermarket > OEM ???

maybe....

Hi,
We have a glass guy come in for us and for most windshield replacements his work is top notch and the price is usually under $500 if you need quotes please post up the vehicle you have include the year, model, if it has any rain sensor or anything else in the glass (antenna ect)
