Recent owner reports: Visibility/Wiper

“My 2017 Toyota Prius Prime has experienced a second windshield crack perhaps hit by a small object, which I didn't notice at all. The crack is a "L" shape, about 15 in at each direction. The firs Windshield crack was happened about a year ago. Toyota dealer replaced it with an original Toyota Windshield. I believe this particular Windshield type isn't strong enough to withstand a small stone hitting it. As I didn't”

“Windshield cracked from bottom to top and across while sitting and there was no evidence of a rock or chip that would cause that. Air temp was about 95 degrees. No rain, no impact, car was sitting parked and not running.”

“MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON, WHILE IT WAS PARKED. THIS IS THE SECOND CRACK I GOTTEN ON MY WINDSHIELD FROM OWNING IT FOR 2 YEARS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL, I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR VERY FAR, AND IT HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS PARKED.”
