Odd cracked windscreen mystery ??

Got to my car today and drove down the road and noticed a 6-7inch crack in my windsceen on the drivers side bottom corner. It wasnt there yesterday as I drove it but the odd thing was that it seemed have cracked for no reason.

Firstly if it had been hit by something, then surely you would expect a chip where a stone would have hit it hard enough to crack it but there is none.

Secondly its cracked on the drivers side corner right from/to the edge so if it did happen when I was driving, I would have noticed it.

Its a really fine crack with no hint of being hit. Obviously windscreens dont crack for no reason but it would seem like it did. Im rather puzzled about it :confused:

Good job Im fully comp though so should only cost £50 to sort out.

Could have been a very small chip that has expanded perhaps? Has been frezzing every other night up here.

I thought that but the screen is clear apart from a chip which is on the other side of the screen, plus it wasnt that cold last night as it was raining.

Will be interesting as Im insured with Flux, so will see how they are at paying up for the screen

Post back here with how it goes with Fluxy

Will do, going to give them a ring this morning as the crack is getting bigger.

Got the windscreen done no problems at all. Didnt even have to involve Adrian Flux as they told me to ring the Equity Red Star windscreen number. Did that and got put through to RAC Auto Windscreens and got it all done for £50.
