Wow, I was driving down the road one day and my windshield just cracked... not another car in site. I thought it so strange at the time. I bet now it was a stress crack! It made no noise. I just chalked it up to Louisiana roads. I hate to replace it though... I had 95% ceramic tint applied and it works fantastic. So much less heat through the windshield.
Check the outer edge for an impact. As mentioned earlier in the thread, frameless windows are prone to suffering ricochets from hits under the window being fired upwards.

doubtful. These "investigate the edge" indirections do not help.

It's just more likely for impact to occur against non-edge surfaces.

This unprovable "must be edge damage" argument is trying to paper over the issue with the windshield glass design.
