Angry my is350 broken front windshield

So I'm posting from my phone.... In southern california and guess what? Other than that small crack on my window I just got a 5 inch crack from the bottom towards the middle omfg... Now I really gotta replace the windshield. Anyone got good places?

check to see if it's done by rock chip or it's from stress. see if there is a rock chip mark along the crack. if none, go back for warranty.

I've got a huge crack running down my windshield... almost the entire length. It originated up where the rear view mirror is glued on and I never noticed any rock chip, but didn't know the windshield could crack from stress, so I just assumed it was from the road.

Will the dealership really cover this under warranty? I always thought that with a cracked windshield, it was assumed it was from a rock.

So off-topic but.....Where have you been Sha!!!!

Dealership won't cover cracked windshield. Your best bet is pay cash, or use your insurance.
