I have started to save pics of cracked windscreens. Out of the 27 I have collected, more than 50% look similar to yours. This simply can not be coincidence. Not sure how to proceed, if at all. My first broken screen looks identical. very frustrating!
The other factor is the defrost vent is in the middle. So perhaps the effects from the windshield impact is made worse by more extreme temp delta? In that lower center portion?

Mine cracked when the heating was on pretty high and it was -6c outside. It started from the vent area. However, there was ricochet damage on the outer rim of the glass.
 
Do you have a link for the Z trim. I see varying sizes and yours looks great so I'd like to order the same. New windshield goes on next week so with this trim, defrost deflector, Racing Optics I am hoping the $300 in preventative will work to make the windshield as protected as possible.
This is what I used, as mentioned you need to cut off the lower edge to make it an L shape (not too hard to do just using scissors).
