Cracked windshield with no impact

[singjai]

Just got off work and was driving home when I noticed a large, curved crack on my windshield starting from the top. When I got home, and took a closer look, it looks like there was no impact. Just a crack. Going to take it to the dealership to check if it's under warranty. Anyone else have this issue?

See my post above - since you're going to the dealer, would you mind asking what their ETA for glass is?

I also have a crack after 4 days of ownership and less than 300 km. Very tiny chip that no one remembers taking a stone. The crack grew by 4" between lunch and the drive home just sitting under the sun in the parking lot.

Sorry, just read your post. Already went to the service center and wasn't able to ask. What does ETA stand for anyway? Does it have something to do with the sensing model?

Yeah, surprised how fragile this glass is. I went to the service center this afternoon since the service manager was there today - He's the only one who can authorize glass repairs under warranty. He inspected it for a couple minutes and agreed there was no impact and must be a stress crack. He said he saw the same thing on an Odyssey. They went ahead and ordered a new windshield for me.

No, ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival

Received a call from glass place today to update me. She said Honda will start shipping out windshields to dealers beginning June 30. She hopes to have me come in sometime next week to get the work done.

In the meantime, the crack has grown to about 2".

Oh, sorry lol. Yeah, the guy said it should be in sometime next week since it has to be shipped from Ohio or some place. Said he'd give me a call to set up an appointment when he gets more info.

Not sure how much it is since it's covered under warranty. Have you tried going to Honda to get it fixed? I would imagine it being pretty expensive since it's a new model Civic.

You *personally* imported the Civic you own or did you purchase it from Dipromuro C.A., the local Honda auto distributor in Caracas?

Very brave of you to do that - unfortunately, you will have to source the windshield on your own. In the USA, you're looking at about $1,000 for the windshield & misc related parts from the dealer. Add freight charges to it to ship to Venezuela. When it arrives there, you may have to pay import duties. After you receive it, you will have to find someone who knows how to install this kind of windshield.

With the way US news media is showing your country lately I am amazed you were able to get a windshield into the country and installed so quickly
