“I live in wi and I have all my life. In february, here in wi, no doubt it's been cold. My windshield was fine that night. In the morning, my windshield and top of the Jeep was covered in snow. So as usual, when it's cold, I went to start my Jeep and let it heat up, as usual I put on defrost and went back into the house. I came back outside about 10 mins later to scrape off the snow, went back in got my son, we got into the Jeep, ready to go and we noticed (I do have pictures) I had a crack at the bottom of the windshield that ran from the passenger side, horizontal to driverside. …”
