Show us your crack (windshields)

Got this impact from a stone the other day. Some asshole cut across the shoulder and sprayed rocks like birdshot.

But then, next day, this crack - which is a good ways away from the impact spot - appeared. Interesting that it seems to be in the same area many other cracks have appeared. Now that I think about it, I actually used the defroster yesterday - I wonder if that played into it?

It’s almost like it’s under tension - there’s a chip, it’s weakened, maybe a temp fluctuation, it goes - so many of them right in that same area. Crazy.

Your stone hit is about the same as mine. The crack leads off like mine. And in my case, it happened at -6c when the heating was on full (and on warmer days, the aircon puts a freezing cold misted spot on the screen in the same area on screen). So, stress caused by a weakened area does seem to fit.
