“The design of passenger side airbag cover breaks front windshield on escort zx2's. The cover flips up when it could flip down without damaging the windshield. Every zx2 I've seen or heard about where airbags deployed has had to have windshield replaced. A real money maker for dealerships or glass shops.”
